Journal Club: Dynamic Human Environmental Exposome Revealed by Longitudinal Personal Monitoring

Just got pointed to this paper by Paula Olsiewski.   Not necessarily a fan of another “-ome” word, but this seems like a really interesting study where they did intensive monitoring of environmental exposures of a few people over time.  Abstract below: Human health is dependent upon environmental exposures, yet the diversity and variation in exposures …

Report of Interest on Home Dampness & Mold from Mark Mendell

An automated Google Scholar search for “Indoor Microbiology” alerted me to this report from Mark Mendell: A Research Agenda on Assessing and Remediating Home Dampness and Mold to Reduce Dampness-Related Health Effects by Mark J. Mandell. This definitely seems of interest to the microbiology of the built environment crowd and anyone interested in moisture effects …

Connecting Indoor Microbiome Studies with Indoor Chemistry

As people get more and more interested in the microbiology and microbiomes of the built environment, a critical additional step is to connnect this work to analyses of chemical compounds in the built environment.  Studies of chemicals in the built environment have of course been going on for a long time (e.g., in studies of indoor …
