Global Indoor Health Network
The Global Indoor Health Network is a dedicated group of scientists, physicians, researchers, building engineers, indoor air quality experts, industrial hygienists, attorneys, teachers, injured workers, advocates and others who are working together to promote healthy indoor environments in homes, schools and businesses.
We are uniting to share our collective knowledge, expertise and life experiences to advance the understanding and awareness of this very important public health issue.

Brain Inflammation and Alzheimer’s-Like Pathology in Individuals Exposed to Severe Air Pollution
Air pollution is a complex mixture of gases (e.g., ozone), particulate matter, and organic compounds present in outdoor and indoor air. Dogs exposed to severe air pollution exhibit chronic inflammation and acceleration of Alzheimer’s-like pathology, suggesting that the brain is adversely affected by pollutants.
