Volatile organic compounds are a group of gaseous air pollutants from a variety of sources including household chemicals, combustion, furniture, and building materials. We are studying whether levels of Volatile organic compounds in homes might affect respiratory health in children who have chronic lung disease of prematurity.
Though cystic fibrosis is a genetic condition, the severity of lung disease can vary widely among people with cystic fibrosis with the same genetics. We are exploring if there are environmental factors in the home that can influence lung function over time in people with cystic fibrosis.
We are interested in better understanding how children with asthma and other lung conditions are affected by increased indoor air pollution levels from wildfire smoke. We hope to develop high-value, easy-to-implement strategies that families can use to reduce its impact.
