Would you knowingly drink a glass of water filled... with dangerous pathogens, bacteria, and pollutants? More than a century ago, water treatment and sewer systems transformed public health and saved countless lives. But we still have not done the same for the indoor air we breathe, where Americans spend roughly 90 percent of their time. Whether it is a school, office, hospital, or home, we often have no idea if the air around us contains harmful invisible particles that could be affecting our health. ARPA-H’s BREATHE program is working to change that by building technologies and systems that can monitor indoor air quality, detect potential health threats early, and help make indoor spaces healthier and safer. On this Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month and beyond, ARPA-H is working to make cleaner indoor air a standard of modern public health. Learn more about BREATHE: Mayo Clinic Virginia Techshow more
