We're working with UC Berkeley on an childhood asthma and range hood ventilation study. If you know a household in the area that has a 6-12 year old with asthma, please follow the instructions on the link for more information about participating. We will be measuring particulates and airflow and making adjustments and replacements to make poorly functioning range hoods work better to remove contaminants. All of the work is free of charge to the owners.
