Air quality: The experiment, called HOMEChem, brought 60 scientists from 13 universities to perform typical home activities like cooking and cleaning.

A study has revealed that indoor air quality can be affected by cooking and cleaning. The results of the study were published in the journal, `Environmental Science & Technology`. A large, collaborative research experiment that attempted to map the airborne chemistry of a typical home took place in 2018 and was co-led by Delphine Farmer, associate professor in the Department of Chemistry at Colorado State University (CSU).

The experiment, called HOMEChem, brought 60 scientists from 13 universities to a test house at the University of Texas at Austin to perform typical home activities like cooking and cleaning and to use sophisticated instrumentation to document the chemistry that resulted.
