... To better understand the sources of indoor PM2.5, the possible health effects of exposure to indoor PM2.5, and engineering approaches and interventions to reduce those exposure risks, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (National Academies) convened a virtual workshop with the following statement of task: 1  This proceedings has been prepared by the workshop rapporteurs as a factual summary of what occurred at the workshop.

... It was intended in part to further the discussion about indoor PM2.5 that began at the 2016 National Academies workshop, Health Risks of Indoor Exposure to Particulate Matter: Workshop Summary (NASEM, 2016) .3 As planning committee chair Richard Corsi (University of California, Davis)

... He added that since the 2016 workshop -- which highlighted the fact that indoor exposure to PM2.5 is a serious public health issue -- EPA, the research community, and indoor environment-related industries have made substantial progress in developing tools and resources that can help reduce the risks posed by exposure. Examples of these tools and resources include revised EPA guidance on residential air cleaners and filters (US EPA, 2021)

... However, in accordance with National Academies policies, the planning committee did not attempt to establish any conclusions or recommendations about needs and future research directions, focusing instead on issues identified by individual speakers and workshop participants. This proceedings was drafted by rapporteur Joe Alper in collaboration with National Academies staff member David A
