Chronic respiratory stress, degraded cognitive performance, and rising public-health burden across schools, homes, and workplaces.

Air Quality Is No Longer an Outdoor Metric

Our cities air crisis is no longer only about emissions. It is about what our buildings are made of, how they behave, and how they interact with the city’s climate and pollution cycles.

What Is Air Really Made Of?

Under natural, clean conditions, air is composed of:

PM2.5 (Fine inhalable particles, <2.5 microns)

PM10 (Coarse dust, <10 microns)

Sulfur Dioxide (SO₂)

Nitrogen Dioxide (NO₂)

Carbon Monoxide (CO)

Ground-level Ozone (O₃)

Volatile Organic Compounds

Ammonia (NH₃)

78%

NITROGEN

OXYGEN

Argon & trace gases

Carbon Dioxide (CO₂)

21%

1%

0.04%

AQI is designed to communicate ambient outdoor pollution, but in dense cities, now it reflects a much deeper systems failure.

AQI aggregates PM₂.₅, PM₁₀, NO₂, SO₂, CO, and O₃, pollutants that infiltrate, accumulate, or are generated inside our cities.

This is no longer “natural air.”

It is chemically altered air.

Long-Term Airborne Inflammatory Stressors

PM 2.5

PM 10

NO₂

SO₂

CO

o3

AQI appears at the city scale but its health impacts occur at the building scale through the materials we live with every day.


The air crisis is, fundamentally, a materials and building-science crisis.

The Healthy Buildings Lab works to decode exposure pathways, study material–pollutant interactions, and develop solutions that directly address the drivers of poor indoor air quality in polluted urban environments

We advance a built environment where human health and ecological integrity are the foundation of every design decision.
