Allergy Standards Talks to the Indoor Air Quality Society about how to Create a #OneHealth World, where Healthy People Live on a Healthy Planet.
We were delighted to be invited to talk to the Indoor Air Quality Society | IAQS about ASL’s vision of creating a #onehealth world, where healthy people live on a healthy planet. The Indoor Air Quality Society and Allergy Standards share a common goal to raise awareness about the importance of air quality in our daily lives so it was a wonderful opportunity to connect and discuss. The talk highlighted our asthma & allergy friendly® Certification Program, the ASL Academy and the ASL Institute and how science can further our vision of making the United Nations human right to breathe clean air a reality.
The key to improving indoor air quality for all is an integrated approach to building science involving all those involved in the building industry including designers, architects and those who maintain buildings says Dr John McKeon in this interview with Prof. Daniel Bonn Chairman of the IAQS. ASL can act like a bridge between the building community and the medical community to facilitate the merging of best practices and ensure healthy air for all. Furthermore, consumers are confused by false and misleading claims around products that promise to support a healthier indoor environment so it is imperative that claims are supported by good science.
