Dr. Coker will discuss recent findings and ongoing research at the BCCDC leveraging low-cost air quality sensors to understand and reduce exposure to wildfire smoke at BC care facilities. This talk will address infiltration of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) at BC care facilities and recent efforts towards improving public health messaging about indoor PM2.5 using a low-cost sensors and a web-based app. The talk will also highlight the use of machine learning to model indoor exposure to wildfire-related PM2.5 and its implications for exposure assessment in wildfire smoke epidemiology studies.
