In the news: It's Friday, which means you should listen to the latest episode of @scifri featuring @PurdueCCE's @NusratJung.

Listen as Jung discusses how we create toxic air without even knowing it, and what we can do to avoid it: https://t.co/T2yAedTKZK

Many of us spend 90% of our time inside, yet we are most often concerned with outdoor air quality. Purdue’s Nusrat Jung has made surprising discoveries on how hairstyling and other daily routines affect indoor air. She joins @SciFri to share key points & tips for your home.

A research team led by @NusratJung, assistant professor in LSCCE, and her PhD student Jianghui Liu, discovered that heat-based hair care routines can expose a person to upwards of 10 billion nanoparticles that are directly deposited into their lungs.

Wax melts are typically advertised as nontoxic alternatives to candles. But a new study by @LifeAtPurdue engineers has found that they pollute indoor air at least as much as candles do. https://t.co/oQzIIpGawT

Researchers show that fragranced products (like flameless, smoke-free candles) actively alter indoor air chemistry, leading to the formation of nanoparticles at concentrations that could have significant health implications https://t.co/oHrMXCMMNN

#CCE Nusrat Jung & Brandon Boor have been the first to study nanoscale airborne particle formation indoors and compare it to outdoor atmospheric processes. The air inside your home may be more polluted than outside due to everyday chemical products. 💭
