Sani is a Principal Environmental Public Health Scientist on Indoor Environments at Public Health England (PHE). She is also a Visiting Professor at the UCL IEDE, Bartlett School. Her interests include exposure assessment to air pollution, based on modelling and monitoring of indoor and outdoor air pollution and ventilation as well as health impact assessments. She works closely with colleagues from Government Departments (e.g. DfE, MHCLG, Defra, BEIS) and Organisations (e.g. WHO, NICE, CIBSE, RCP/RCPCH) to provide expert advice on indoor air quality and health. She participated in the Cross Whitehall Group for the revision of the Building Regulations, Part F and she sits on the Advisory Board organised by MHCLG for the revision of HHSRS (Housing Health and Safety Rating System).
The indoor environment plays a key role in human health and wellbeing, from the young to the elderly. Public Health England (PHE) plays an important role to review and develop the evidence on the health impacts of indoor air quality as well as to identify potential interventions to inform those who are in a position to take action (including the public) and thereby improve indoor air quality. PHE has contributed to, and continues to contribute to, the work of government departments in the area of IAQ, but also works closely with various organisations on their projects to provide scientific input. The presentation will give an inside view of Public Health England’s work on IAQ and health.
