90%
We spend about 90% of our time indoors.
40-60%
Indoor PM2.5 from outside air causes 40-60% of PM2.5-related deaths in the U.S.
2X
Indoor PM concentrations are 2x higher in social housing
Most discussions on air pollution focus on outdoor air quality, but outdoor pollutants also impact indoor air.
A significant portion of PM2.5-related health impacts are due to indoor exposure to outdoor particulate matter.
Indoor PM concentrations were found to be significantly higher in social (subsidized) housing compared to single-family homes.

Low-cost air sensors can fill critical data gaps in communities most affected by air pollution and its negative health effects. These air sensors have mostly been deployed in outdoor areas, but measuring indoor air quality is just as important — that’s where we spend most of our time!
