This proposal is for a "mobile laboratory" to investigate air quality indoors. The proposed equipment replaces a previous model designed by the applicant that is no longer available. It consists of seven instruments mounted on a wheeled platform. It will measure important pollutants including ozone, nitrogen oxides, aerosols, and carbon dioxide. It will also measure temperature, relative humidity, and the intensity of light. The mobile laboratory will be placed in indoor locations such as houses and offices, where it will acquire measurements over days or weeks. These measurements will provide important information about how common activities such as cooking and cleaning impact air quality and human health. In addition to advancing the research field of indoor chemistry, planned studies using the mobile laboratory will provide information that can empower Canadians to improve indoor air quality in their residences and workplaces. Specifically, a planned collaborative study will result in freely available information (e.g., posted on the internet) containing simple, affordable steps to reduce chemical exposure risk during activities such as cooking and cleaning.

本建议是一个“移动的实验室”，以调查室内空气质量。拟议的设备将取代申请者以前设计的一个型号，但该型号已不再可用。它由安装在轮式平台上的七个仪器组成。它将测量重要的污染物，包括臭氧，氮氧化物，气溶胶和二氧化碳。它还将测量温度、相对湿度和光照强度。该移动的实验室将被放置在室内位置，如房屋和办公室，在那里它将获得测量数天或数周。这些测量将提供有关烹饪和清洁等常见活动如何影响空气质量和人类健康的重要信息。 除了推进室内化学的研究领域外，计划使用移动的实验室进行的研究将提供信息，使加拿大人能够改善其住宅和工作场所的室内空气质量。具体而言，计划中的合作研究将产生免费提供的信息（例如，张贴在互联网上），其中载有简单、负担得起的步骤，以减少在烹饪和清洁等活动中接触化学品的风险。
