Every day I help people solve their indoor air quality problems caused by mould and water damage. I'm passionate about healthy buildings and environmental health. As a microbiologist, I see the relationship between people and their environment as a complex interplay between resource use and adaptation. In turn, the microbiome of the built environment is emerging as an important determinant of wellbeing.
I can speak about a range of topics:
- mould
- indoor air quality
- building biology
- pollution
- water damage
- climate change
- mycology
- microbiology
- microbiome
- infection control
- environmental health
