Our stakeholder meetings are some of the most energizing experiences that we have in our work. The information in this meeting provided an excellent grounding in the history of air quality in the Pittsburgh region. We also used this opportunity to present a draft white paper focused on the impact of outdoor pollution on indoor air quality – a topic that lies at the heart of our work – in order to get feedback from our diverse stakeholders.
