Pawel Wargocki, Technical University of Denmark
Date: May 17, 2018
Centre for Healthy Indoor Environments (CHIE, www.chie.lth.se ) at Lund University in Sweden and EUROVENT (https://eurovent.eu/ ) arranged a workshop “Particles, ventilation and health”. An invited speaker Pawel Wargocki from the Technical University of Denmark, presented current evidence regarding the relationship between ventilation, health, comfort and cognitive performance. Presentation discussed its pros and cons and future challenges for developing ventilation standards in built environment.

Neurological effects of air pollution.
Anna Oudin, Lund University
Date: May 17, 2018
Centre for Healthy Indoor Environments (CHIE, www.chie.lth.se ) at Lund University in Sweden and EUROVENT (https://eurovent.eu/ ) arranged a workshop “Particles, ventilation and health”. An invited speaker Anna Oudin from Lund University, presented current research regarding exposure to particles and neuropsychological effects, cognitive decline and dementia.
People – environment interactions in dwellings – how we can understand occupants’ reactions and behaviours as part of the ventilation system.
Eja Pedersen, Lund University
Date: May 17, 2018
Centre for Healthy Indoor Environments (CHIE, www.chie.lth.se ) at Lund University in Sweden and EUROVENT (https://eurovent.eu/ ) arranged a workshop “Particles, ventilation and health”. An invited speaker Eja Pedersen from Lund University, presented findings from ongoing PEIRE-project, where the quality of the indoor environment is measured in dwellings alongside with assessments of occupants’ behaviour. Though the behaviour does not always seem rational, it can be understood in the light of concepts from both behavioural and technological sciences.
Healthy Indoor Environments Workshop & SWESIAQ
Människor i den byggda miljön, inomhusluftkemi och ventilationsstrategier.
Sarka Langer, IVL
Date March 21, 2018
Centre for Healthy Indoor Environments (CHIE, www.chie.lth.se ) vid Lunds universitet och SWESIAQ (http://www.swesiaq.se/ ) arrangerade en workshop - SWESIAQ:s vårmöte den 21 mars 2018. Sarka Langer, forskare i luftkvalitet och luftkemi i inomhusmiljöer vid IVL Svenska Miljöinstitutet, talar om reaktiv ozonkemi i innemiljön. Vilken betydelse för luftkvalitet har människor själva, vad händer när ozon träder in i bilden och hur olika ventilationsstrategier påverkar halter av uppkomna reaktionsprodukter.
Innemiljöproblem och viktiga åtgärder ur ett allergiperspektiv.
Marie-Louise Luther, Astma och Allergiförbundet.
Date: March 21, 2018
Centre for Healthy Indoor Environments (CHIE, www.chie.lth.se ) vid Lunds universitet och SWESIAQ (http://www.swesiaq.se/ ) arrangerade en workshop - SWESIAQ:s vårmöte den 21 mars 2018. Marie-Louise Luther, ombudsman inomhusmiljö Astma- och Allergiförbundet, talar om problem i inomhusmiljön för personer med allergi/överkänslighet och vilka åtgärder som behövs.
Luftburen smittspridning i inomhusmiljö.
Jakob Löndahl, Lunds universitet
Date: March 21, 2018
Centre for Healthy Indoor Environments (CHIE, www.chie.lth.se ) vid Lunds universitet och SWESIAQ (http://www.swesiaq.se/ ) arrangerade en workshop - SWESIAQ:s vårmöte den 21 mars 2018. Jakob Löndahl, forskare i aerosolteknologi vid institutionen för Designvetenskaper, LU talar om luften full av mikroorganismer som påverkar vår hälsa. Hur sprider de sig? Hur kan vi mäta dem? Och vad kan vi göra för att minska överföring av luftburen smitta?
Seminar by Charles Weschler
Dermal uptake directly from air for phthalates and other common chemicals
Date: September 14, 2017
Numerous studies over the past five years have indicated that indoor exposures are responsible for a significant fraction of the plasticizers, flame retardants, surfactants and other additives found in our bodies. Models based on fundamental physical chemistry indicate that some of these compounds are dermally absorbed from air or clothing at rates comparable to or larger than inhalation intake. Yet, with a few exceptions, this pathway has not been largely overlooked when performing exposure assessments. This talk will describe recent studies with human volunteers that confirm the importance of the dermal pathway for a number of common indoor pollutants.

Chemistry in indoor air and the role of human occupants
Date: September 13, 2017
Although the same laws of chemistry apply in all environments, the reactions that dominate indoors differ from those that dominate outdoors. The factors impacting this difference include less direct sunlight, no rain, smaller diurnal temperature fluctuations, larger surface-to-volume ratios, and higher concentrations of most organic compounds. Using old and new examples, this talk will review chemical transformations known to occur in indoor air and on indoor surfaces, and the implications of this chemistry for human occupants.

Seminar with Aneta Wierzbicka and Eja Pedersen
New ideas and new technology for better indoor environments
Date: January 5, 2017
We spend 90 % of our time indoors and therefore the environment greatly affects our productivity, creativity and health. How can new ideas and technology work together to improve our lives? In this breakfast seminar, Aneta Wierzbicka, Associate Professor at Ergonomics and Aerosol Technology, Design Sciences LTH and Eja Pedersen, Professor of Environmental Psychology, tells us how technical, medical and behavioral perspectives can work together for an energy-efficient environment without sacrificing productivity and comfort.
