... , improved filter and air cleaning technologies, additional analyses of the health effects of indoorgenerated PM2.5, and the increasing use of sensor-based technologies to detect PM2.5. Concluding his remarks, Edwards said EPA will use the results of the workshop to continue to build a scientific foundation on the impacts of indoor exposure to particulate matter.
