Today on Volts: for years, I've wanted to do a podcast on indoor air quality, and I finally found the perfect guest! Dr. Lagoudas & I discuss indoor air pollutants, the policies and technologies that can control them, and the growing need to frame indoor air quality as a basic human right.

I wouldn't be surprised if I explicitly blocked his channel. if there's anything the age of GenAI is teaching me, it's that these systems require a "firm hand."
