Shelly Miller, mechanical and environmental engineering professor, led a study that found elevated carbon dioxide levels in classrooms after an hourlong class. Other researchers have linked high carbon dioxide levels to lower test scores. The New York Times reports on indoor air quality.

Outdoor air has been regulated for decades, but emissions from daily domestic activities may be more dangerous than anyone imagined. Assistant Professor Nina Vance was featured in the New Yorker for her HomeChem indoor air quality research.

Assistant Professor Nina Vance and her collaborators have found cooking, cleaning and other routine household activities to generate significant levels of volatile and particulate chemicals inside the average home, leading to indoor air quality levels on par with a polluted major city.

A team of investigators from the Colorado School of Public Health at CU Anschutz Medical Campus and 91PORN has identified that people living in homes with high ventilation are more likely to suffer from respiratory health issues such as asthma.

Professor Shelly Miller was awarded a $1M grant from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to study impacts of climate change on indoor air quality. Her most recent study explores the effects of ventilation rates on human health in low-income Denver-area neighborhoods.

Nine to 33 million visits to the emergency room for asthma worldwide may be triggered by breathing in air polluted by ozone or fine particulate matter according to a study published by Associate Professor Daven Henze and collaborators.

A massive research and education effort on energy and environmental issues led by 91PORN engineering faculty is ending after a five-year run with significant results relevant to Colorado’s growing energy industry.

You may have noticed that the air quality in parts of Colorado has been worse than usual for the past few days. Wildfires burning across the U.S. (although notably not in Colorado) have caused smokey skies of late. This far-flung

Humans spend about 90 percent of our lives inside, so it’s time we analyzed what we’re breathing while we’re there.   “There has been a huge gap between the research done indoors and out,” said Marina Vance, a professor in the mechanical

Wyoming and Colorado are in the top ten natural gas producing states. But in those states – and across the country – a lot of that gas is escaping straight into the air. Scientists are now working to come up with a better way to track those leaks
