A new editorial has been published by our Centre Director Distinguished Professor Lidia Morawska, titled “The burden of disease due to indoor air pollution and why we need to know about it”, in Science Bulletin.
People spend a significant fraction of their lives in such places and it is important to understand the impact of indoor air quality on public health in order to control it. Ask a scientist from basically any area of science what they think about the immense scientific complexity of indoor air and its impacts, and they seem perplexed. Complexity of black holes—yes, complexity of the human genome—yes, but of indoor
air? To scientists who investigate indoor air it is incomprehensible that this area of science attracts so little interest from the broader scientific community, the public, and frankly, anyone.
