Summary
This feature article, available through the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), gives an overview of indoor air pollutants and how chemists and scientists monitor and track them. The article highlights a massive study in June of 2018 that took place in the United States and provides a series of different activities for high school-level students to understand mass spectrometry. It also includes links to a variety of other resources that can be helpful for understanding this rather complex concept for 16-18 year olds.
