•Raising awareness of the impact of indoor pollutants and reducing the impact of those emissions
•Buildings – air pollutants inside building as well, how to make people aware of impacts and how to connect to health, climate, etc.?
•Providing recommendations on better building standards and how to reduce indoor emissions – working with city governments to implement measures to address this issue
