This presentation outlines the 'Airproofing' pilot project aimed at improving air quality for residents of East Boston, a neighborhood heavily impacted by pollution from nearby Logan Airport. The project, a collaboration between Air Partners, Olin College of Engineering, Aerodyne Research, and community organizations, examines the problem of airport-related air pollution, explores protective solutions for homes and buildings, and describes testing methods and resource needs. While focused on East Boston, the initiative offers a potential model for addressing aviation-related air quality burdens in other airport-adjacent communities.

This EPA report, prepared by David Mudarri PhD in 2018, reviews the state of science on indoor environmental quality and outlines research, policy, and program options for improving it. The synthesis paper was developed to help the EPA establish research goals, objectives, and priorities across a wide range of indoor environmental topics and time frames. It is intended solely for internal EPA use due to the inclusion of copyrighted material from broad-based review articles.

This Washington State Department of Health guide provides recommendations for schools and buildings on how to maintain healthy indoor air quality during wildfire smoke events. It advises closing windows and air intakes when outdoor air quality is hazardous, upgrading HVAC filters, and using portable HEPA air cleaners to reduce fine particles and gases from smoke. Building managers are also encouraged to monitor carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide levels indoors and take steps to flush out buildings during periods of improved outdoor air quality.
