ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Dr. Corinne Mandin earned her PhD in environmental chemistry from the University of Rennes, France. She has been working on human exposure to chemicals in indoor environments, first at INERIS (French national institute for industrial environment and risks) for 8 years, and then at CSTB (French scientific and technical center for building) for 13 years. At CSTB, she coordinated the French Indoor Air Quality Observatory, a research program created by the French government in 2001 to carry out nationwide surveys on air quality in buildings. In 2022, she joined the French institute for radiation protection and nuclear safety (IRSN) where she leads the epidemiology research group. Her research interests include human exposure to chemical and physical risk factors, both in living spaces and occupational settings, and related health effects.
She collaborates with the World Health Organization and the European Joint Research Center. She was involved in several EU research projects (SINPHONIE, OFFICAIR, ALDREN). She is the Immediate Past President of the International Society for Indoor Air Quality and Climate (ISIAQ). In 2022, she coedited the second edition of the Indoor Air Quality Handbook (Springer).
ABSTRACT
After a first part dedicated to the presentation of the state of knowledge on IAQ in the main living spaces (i.e., dwellings, nurseries and schools, offices), based on the work of the French Indoor Air Quality Observatory, the presentation will address some IAQ-related challenges: pollutant measurement and associated human exposure assessment, identification of pollutants of health concern, and the need for an integrated approach in the context of a permanently changing world.
