We attended the Bipartisan Commission on Biodefense meeting this week where BREATHE Program Manager Dr. Jessica Green joined others in Washington, DC to speak on about “Masters of the Air: Overcoming Airborne Pathogens Indoors.” During the meeting, Dr. Jessica Green said, “I remain hopeful we will live to see a future where our buildings act as speed bumps for pathogen spread instead of accelerating it.” Our BREATHE program aims to reduce harmful pathogens and allergens in buildings nationwide to ensure indoor air is always safe and healthy. https://lnkd.in/eBiu2HJf

There is still much more to be done and we know the toughest challenges can’t be solved without all of us working together.
