This family-friendly workshop, led by Researcher Abidemi Tolulope Kuye and colleagues from the Global Centre for Clean Air Research at the University of Surrey, invites you to explore the hidden story of indoor air quality and the impacts of everyday choices, from heating to household activities.
What to Expect
Hands-on experiments – See real-time air quality monitors at work.
Interactive “Home Activities” Zone – Try out demonstrations showing how cooking, vacuuming, sprays & cleaning products, smoking, and vaping affect indoor air.
Family-friendly activities – Explore the “invisible” world of air through experiments designed for children and young people.
Open conversation – Share your experiences of home heating, fires, and everyday indoor activities that affect air quality.
Together we will explore how household heating choices contribute to climate change and uncover what really shapes the quality of the air in our homes. We will look at how everyday habits such as cooking, cleaning, and heating create hidden sources of indoor pollution, and investigate the invisible impacts on the air we breathe.
You'll leave with a clearer understanding of the science behind indoor air pollution, real-world insights into the impacts of wood-burning and daily household activities and positive, practical actions you can take to protect health and reduce emissions at home and in your community.
