Air Quality Speaker for the January 30th Work Group Kick-Off

Hi Air Quality Work Group,

I have begun inviting the speakers that the Work Groups requested for the January 30th Work Group Kick-Off.  Wanda Howell-Whelan, the Environmental Health Operations Manager at Florida Department of Health in Orange County has agreed to speak, and to meet with your Work Group. She said that she has lists of plants that have various environmental benefits that she will bring. You can read my follow-up email to her. I included the notes from your breakout group regarding what you would like information on. Please let me know if you have additional questions for her. I would be happy to forward them to her, so she can address your questions.

Hello Wanda, 

 
Thank you for agreeing to speak at our Work Group Kick-off on January 30th at the Holden Heights Community Center. Our event is scheduled from 6pm - 8pm. We expect to have speakers addressing the Work Group topics at the top of the Agenda, and then to have Work Group breakouts, so we are hoping you can stay to meet with the Air Quality Work Group to help them decide on their next steps. 
 
When the Air Quality Work Group was formed, there was a breakout group for an initial discussion. Here are the notes this group reported back, showing the subjects they are interested in researching: 
 
  • Increase knowledge/awareness of respiratory conditions - health & triggers
  • Interior Air Quality monitoring - Orange County
  • Consumer size air scrubbers
  • Unique air quality challenges with older homes
  • Outside plants around & on the buildings - need to do more research
  • Relationship between trees and diesel exhaust - US Forest?
  • Portable Air Scrubbers - India & China?
  • Contact UF Extension Group regarding living walls
 
Thank you!
