A common public health message is for people to go indoors during wildfires when outdoor particulate matter (PM) levels are elevated. While PM infiltration in single family homes has been relatively well studied, less is known about how much comes indoors in commercial and nonresidential buildings (such as libraries, fitness centers, and schools). EPA’s Wildfire Advancing Science Partnerships for Indoor Reductions of Smoke Exposures (ASPIRE) Study sought to fill those knowledge gaps. This presentation will provide an overview of the study and the key results.
