This study will examine the state of science regarding chemicals in indoor air. Our team of scientific experts will focus on under-reported chemical science discoveries and how these findings shine light on the link between chemical exposure, air quality, and human health. The final report will explore potential opportunities for new scientific research. It will also identify what research will be most critical to understanding the chemical composition of indoor air and adverse exposures. The environments in this study will be limited to non-industrial exposure within buildings.
