From page 153...
... Dr. Ivey's research interests include source apportionment of fine particulate matter, regional air quality modeling for health applications, global atmospheric modeling, and environmental justice.
From page 154...
... Dusan Licina, PhD, is an assistant professor of indoor environmental quality at the School for Architecture, Civil, and Environmental Engineering at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne, where he leads the Human-Oriented Built Environment Lab.
From page 155...
... William Nazaroff, PhD, is the Daniel Tellep Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Engineering in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. His research, focused on the physics and chemistry of air pollutants in proximity to people, especially in indoor environments, involved exposure science, stressing the development and application of methods to better understand mechanistically the relationship between emission sources and human exposure to pollutants.
From page 156...
... His recent research projects include improving and applying methods to measure the infiltration of outdoor particulate matter and reactive gases into homes; measuring gas and particle emissions from desktop three-dimensional printers and evaluating emission control devices; measuring the in situ particle removal efficiency of HVAC filters in real environments; developing inexpensive, open source devices based on the Arduino platform for measuring and recording long-term indoor environmental and building operational data; and characterizing the energy and air quality impacts of higher-efficiency HVAC filters in central residential air conditioning systems.
From page 157...
... It focuses on indoor air quality and exposure, indoor aerosol and chemical modeling, and sustainable buildings. He believes that making buildings function more effectively is imperative to solving many societal challenges.
From page 159...
... Nazaroff was editor in chief of Indoor Air; president of the Academy of Fellows in the International Society of Indoor Air Quality and Climate; and president of the American Association for Aerosol Research. He is coauthor of Environmental Engineering Science and has served on the National Academies Committee on the Effect of Climate Change on Indoor Air Quality and Public Health.
