InAir: sharing Indoor Air Quality measurements and visualizations
Proceedings of the Conference on Human Factors in Computing (CHI), 2010Co-Authors: Sunyoung Kim, Eric PaulosAbstract:This paper describes inAir, a tool for sharing measurements and visualizations of Indoor Air Quality within one's social network. Poor Indoor Air Quality is difficult for humans to detect through sight and smell alone and can contribute to the development of chronic diseases. Through a four-week long study of fourteen households as six groups, we found that inAir (1) increased awareness of, and reflection on Air Quality, (2) promoted behavioral changes that resulted in improved Indoor Air Quality, and (3) demonstrated the persuasive power of sharing for furthering improvements to Indoor Air Quality in terms of fostering new social awareness and behavior changes as well as strengthening social bonds and prompting collaborative efforts across social networks to improve human health and well being.

UbiComp - inAir: measuring and visualizing Indoor Air Quality
Proceedings of the 11th international conference on Ubiquitous computing, 2009Co-Authors: Sunyoung Kim, Eric PaulosAbstract:Good Indoor Air Quality is a vital part of human health. Poor Indoor Air Quality can contribute to the development of chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma, heart disease, and lung cancer. Complicating matters, poor Air Quality is extremely difficult for humans to detect through sight and smell alone and existing sensing equipment is designed to be used by and provide data for scientists rather than everyday citizens. We propose inAir, a tool for measuring, visualizing, and learning about Indoor Air Quality. inAir provides historical and real-time visualizations of Indoor Air Quality by measuring tiny hazardous Airborne particles as small as 0.5 microns in size. Through user studies we demonstrate how inAir promotes greater awareness and motivates individual actions to improve Indoor Air Quality.

Indoor Air-Quality MEDICOLEGAL ISSUES
JOURNAL OF ALLERGY AND CLINICAL IMMUNOLOGY, 1994Co-Authors: C S Ross, James E. LockeyAbstract:The regulatory and legal communities have begun only recently to address\nthe medicolegal issues surrounding Indoor Air Quality. No single\ngovernmental agency is responsible for Indoor Air Quality issues. The\nfocus of the federal government's Indoor Air Quality programs is on the\ngathering and dissemination of information rather than on the regulation\nof Indoor Air pollution. Stare and local regulatory controls vary but\nmay include antismoking ordinances, building codes, and contractor\ncertification programs. Numerous lawsuits involving various parties and\nlegal theories have been filed on the basis of illness allegedly related\nto Indoor Air Quality. Further regulatory and legal review of Indoor Air\nproblems will likely occur in the near future particularly as a result\nof the characterization of environmental tobacco smoke as a class A\ncarcinogen.

Indoor Air Quality medicolegal issues
Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 1994Co-Authors: C S Ross, James E. LockeyAbstract:Abstract The regulatory and legal communities have begun only recently to address the medicolegal issues surrounding Indoor Air Quality. No single governmental agency is responsible for Indoor Air Quality issues. The focus of the federal government's Indoor Air Quality programs is on the gathering and dissemination of information rather than on the regulation of Indoor Air pollution. State and local regulatory controls vary but may include antismoking ordinances, building codes, and contractor certification programs. Numerous lawsuits involving various parties and legal theories have been filed on the basis of illness allegedly related to Indoor Air Quality.

Tobacco smoking policy and Indoor Air Quality: a case study
Energy and Buildings, 1993Co-Authors: Michael A. Jadud, Brian A. RockAbstract:Abstract Policy on environment tobacco smoke and its effect on Indoor Air Quality are discussed in this paper. Passive (secondhand) smoke is examined in aspects ranging from health effects to laws surrounding smoking within public buildings in the United States. Engineering and administrative solutions to these Indoor Air Quality problems are considered. A case study of a smoking area within an institutional building is presented and potential improvements and administrative actions are discussed. The results of this study should be helpful to those faced with or anticipating technical and legal Indoor Air Quality problems and policy decisions.
