At the beginning of November, a group of citizen scientists interested in indoor air quality started measuring the concentration variations of different exposures in their homes in connection with the pilot project on indoor air quality. The project is now coming to its end, and it will culminate in a seminar open to everyone on Tuesday, November 26th at Tampere University's Hervanta campus. In the seminar, indoor air researchers will talk about air quality, the factors that affect it, and ways to improve indoor air quality. In addition, we will hear how citizen science can be used in studying the environment as well as a summary of the pilot project.

Time: Tue 26^th November at 16:00-17:30

Place: Tampere University, Hervanta Campus, Rakennustalo RO107
