🌟 Join us for an insightful talk on indoor air quality! 🌟

We are excited to announce that Professor Benjamin Jones from the University of Nottingham, UK, will be visiting the College of Environmental Design on July 31st. He will be delivering a compelling talk on the harmful effects of indoor air, and we invite you to join us!   🗓 Date: July 31, 2024  ⏰ Time: 12:30pm - 1:30pm  📍 Location: Wurster Hall Room 290, University of California, Berkeley  💻 Zoom Link: Join via Zoom (https://lnkd.in/gqSdCKN5).

About Professor Benjamin Jones: Benjamin Jones is an Associate Professor at the University of Nottingham. His research focuses on measurement and modeling approaches to the indoor environment to inform policies for creating low-carbon and healthy buildings. He has played a pivotal role in pandemic responses for the UK and Chilean governments and contributed to ASHRAE Standard 241, which aims to control infectious aerosols in buildings.

Talk Title: How harmful is indoor air?

Talk 1: Harm from indoor air contaminants Professor Jones will present a health-centered study quantifying the chronic harm caused by indoor air contaminants using the Disability-Adjusted Life-Year (DALY). The study identifies the most harmful contaminants, such as PM2.5, PM10, NO2, formaldehyde, radon, and ozone, which account for over 99% of total median harm. This research highlights that the chronic harm caused by airborne contaminants in dwellings represents approximately 7% of the global disease burden.

Talk 2: Infection risk modelling The second part of the talk will cover the risk assessment modeling approach used to establish airflow rate requirements in ASHRAE Standard 241 (2023) for controlling indoor airborne disease transmission. The model aims to reduce long-range airborne transmission risk by setting minimum equivalent clean airflow rates per person (ECAi). Professor Jones will discuss the methodologies and validation using clinical data, ensuring a rational approach to minimizing airborne infection risk.

Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights into indoor air quality and its significant impact on health. We look forward to seeing you there!
