We spend 90% of our time indoors - yet the air we breathe is often overlooked. This conference puts a spotlight on how indoor air quality affects health, equity and inclusion - and what we can do to make indoor air safer for everyone to breathe. We hope to see you there!

An excellent article by Amanda Kvalsvig and Anna-Maria Arabia, with contribution by Dr Bronwyn King AO, highlighting the reasons that indoor air quality matters more than ever, and how to translate the evidence into meaningful action.
