Indoor Air 2020
2020-11-01 02:00 - 2020-11-05 11:00
It is with great delight we welcome you to the 16th Conference of the International Society of Indoor Air Quality & Climate (Indoor Air 2020) at COEX in Seoul, Korea from November 1-5, 2020. As fine dust in the atmosphere has become an especially serious social problem in Korea and throughout the world, and as buildings get bigger and more concentrated, the interest in the indoor environment has been growing more than ever. To solve these global issues, the Korean Society for Indoor Environment will have the privilege of hosting Indoor Air 2020 in Korea and plans to go to great lengths to ensure the conference surpasses all expectations.

HEI Webinar 1: Climate Change, Air Quality, and Health
2021-04-06 04:00 - 05:00
Webinar 1: Climate Change, Air Quality, and Health
Apr 06, 2021 – 10:00am ET

Chairs: Frank Kelly, Imperial College, London, HEI Review Committee, and Melissa Perry, George Washington University, HEI Review Committee Chair
The changing climate is intricately linked to air quality and health. It has the potential to have significant impacts on air quality, for example with increased temperatures leading to higher levels of ozone, and drier conditions increasing wildfires and in turn, increasing particulate matter. At the same time black carbon, ozone, and other air pollutants can be short-lived climate forcers, exacerbating climate change.
This session will review what we know about these important interactions, what they mean for air quality and health co-benefits, and the potential for unequal exposures, benefits, and impacts.

Apr 13, 2021 – 10:00am ET

Chairs: Francesca Dominici, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, HEI Research Committee, and Peter Thorne, University of Iowa, HEI–Energy Research Committee
Investigating and addressing environmental health research questions requires collaboration among researchers, affected communities, policymakers, and other stakeholders before, during, and after research is conducted. Engaging communities facing socioeconomic or racial inequities throughout the research process can be challenging, despite the public health importance of doing so. In this session, we will hear case studies of environmental health research that both informs and is informed by the affected communities. These will be followed by a panel discussion on ethical considerations in working with communities as well as the benefits and challenges that come with community involvement.

Webinar 3: From Global to Local: Informing Air Quality Policies and Decision-Making
Apr 20, 2021 – 10:00am ET

Chairs: Eloise Marais, University College London, HEI Global Health Oversight Committee, and Jana Milford, University of Colorado, HEI Review Committee
Health impact assessments conducted around the globe point to the substantial burden of disease attributed to air pollution. Yet for a variety of reasons, both scientific and political, progress has stalled in addressing air pollution in many regions of the world. An increasing number of analytical approaches are emerging at global to local scales to help characterize air pollution sources, the relative health benefits of reducing them, and the cost-effectiveness of different approaches. Using results from a new global study on source-specific impacts of air pollution (Global Burden of Disease–Major Air Pollution Sources) as an example, this session will provide an overview of key approaches and discuss their implications for informing policies and solutions with a view to improve air quality at national and local scales.

HEI Webinar 4: The COVID-19 Pandemic, Air Pollution, and Health: Lessons from Around the Globe
2021-04-27 04:00 - 05:00
Webinar 4: The COVID-19 Pandemic, Air Pollution, and Health: Lessons from Around the Globe
Apr 27, 2021 – 10:00am ET

Chairs: Jeff Brook, University of Toronto, HEI Research Committee, and Barbara Hoffmann, University of Düsseldorf, HEI Research Committee
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to widespread disruptions of society, including closures of businesses, schools, and industrial activities, and there have been unprecedented restrictions on travel at all scales. All of this has led to reductions in emissions of air pollution and changes in air quality in locations around the world. Relatedly, there is emerging evidence that exposure to air pollution may be associated with increased susceptibility to infection from COVID-19, with increased adverse symptoms and duration of the disease, as well as increased risk of mortality. This session will discuss these potential linkages, along with evidence of racial inequalities in exposures to air pollution and in COVID-19 outcomes, and discuss challenges in studying these issues. Lastly, the session will bring in the “One Health” approach, recognizing the interconnections between people, animals, and plants and their shared environment.
