Safer shared air: Making the invisible visible

Safer Shared Air: Making the invisible visible is a one-day, hybrid in-person and online conference. It brings together people with lived experience of air quality-related health issues, patient organisations, industry experts, clinicians, and world-leading scientists to discuss indoor air quality (IAQ) as a policy issue.

One of the key questions the conference poses is: How inclusive is your air? This framing acknowledges that certain people – particularly those living with chronic disease or disability, as well as people facing socioeconomic disadvantage – are both more likely to be exposed to harmful air and more likely to be negatively affected by it.

With people spending up to 90% of their time indoors, providing safe IAQ is not just a technical and medical issue, but also one of fairness, accessibility and inclusion.

AIRAH is supporting the event and will have several representatives present, including Advocacy and Policy Manager Mark Vender and Dr Claire Bird, M.AIRAH, who is the associate director of the Institute’s Indoor Air Quality Special Technical Group (IAQ STG).

You can find the full program and list of speakers on the conference website.
