"Canadian Wildfires and COVID-19 Fuel Indoor Air Safety Revolution"

The COVID-19 pandemic and increasing frequency of wildfires have highlighted the importance of clean indoor air, which can reduce heart and lung disease, improve cognitive performance, and prevent the spread of deadly pathogens. While the Biden administration has held a summit on indoor air quality and the CDC has published federal recommendations for air circulation, many experts argue that businesses and governments must take a larger role in addressing the issue. Some suggest new laws to require better indoor air management, while others call for a coordinated public pressure campaign. Improving indoor air quality can be expensive, but it could ultimately save money by reducing healthcare spending and increasing productivity.
