Objectives
• Review Exposure Assessment Strategies in Multiple Settings
• Describe the most common indoor air quality issues that cause negative health effects
• Review unique exposure and health effects in unique settings and call for future research

Environment in Inner City Asthma
• NCICAS & ICAS – Inner City Environment focused on the Home
»Maybe only half the story • SICAS (School Inner City Asthma Study-NIAID)
– Children spend 6-10 hours/day at school- nearly every child’s required “occupation”
– Important venue to examine potential triggers of asthma, likely different from home
– Ultimately, may lead to a cost effective environmental intervention
Classroom Mold Sampling- Burkard Samplers
Air Pollution Sampling
• Fastened to Air
Samplers to collect pollutants passively
• Particulate Matter black boxes correlated with area samplers NIEHS

Conclusions- Future Directions • Home, school settings pose a unique set of
environmental and sociologic factors leading to increased asthma morbidity
• Allergens, mold, and indoor air pollution influence asthma morbidity, and different exposures may be more prevalent in different environments
• The classroom and school based exposures, independent of home exposure, may play an important role in asthma morbidity, suggesting further work in day, occupational, work environments may be important and interventions targeted towards these exposures may be important
• Monitoring/exposure assessment technology evolving and effective personalized monitoring encountering comprehensive exposure assessment and guide targeted interventions may be on the horizon
