Sick Buildings to Smart Sensors: How IAQ Evolved Over Two Decades - Indoor Air 2026 Preview
Q: What are the conference's key drivers for translating science into policy and practice?
Keynotes and sessions focus on translating science to policy, with leaders discussing how standards and regulations have evolved to embrace health, well-being, and sustainable building practices.
Sick Buildings to Smart Sensors: How IAQ Evolved Over Two Decades - Indoor Air 2026 Preview
Q: Do you reflect on how the industry has evolved in the last 20 years since the last Singapore-hosted Indoor Air conference?

Beyond Particulates: How Gas Phase Filtration Protects Everything From Data Centers to Lungs 117
Q: So, when we're talking about a baseline for listeners who probably live and breathe particulate filtration, philosophically, how do you describe the difference between particle filtration and gas phase filtration or air cleaning?
Gas-phase filtration is about removing or neutralizing chemicals in the air through adsorption or chemical reactions, rather than just trapping particles; it requires different design considerations like residence time and media layering to ensure effective removal across multiple contaminants.
The Silent Epidemic: COPD and the 3.5 Million Deaths No One Talks About - José Luis Castro #105
Q: Why is COPD often described as the Cinderella of public health, and what has changed recently?
COPD has been invisible because it's not infectious, often attributed to smoking, and its symptoms are frequently masked; recent emphasis on air quality, urban health, and policy alignment has started to bring attention and resources to address it.
