Exposures in Indoor Air Affecting Health

Allergy, Volume 81, Issue 3, Page 700-719, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Indoor air quality (IAQ) is influenced by a wide range of chemical, biological and physical agents that can negatively impact physical, immunological and mental health. Adverse health effects depend on the type and concentration of pollutants, duration of exposure, and individual susceptibility.

Developing a structured framework to explore the experiences of people with dementia and their caregivers regarding non‐pharmacological sleep interventions

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract INTRODUCTION This paper presents the development of a framework to assess the use and experiences of non‐pharmacological interventions (NPIs) supporting sleep, including technological and indoor environmental quality (IEQ) measures. Sleep disturbances are common in people with dementia (PwD) and increase caregiver burden.
