Thank you all so much from the very, very bottom of my heart.

All right, this week I have the wonderful opportunity to talk to Dr. Marilyn Black.

She is the president at U.L. Air Quality Sciences.

Now, she's a chemist that has dedicated her life

to understanding both indoor and outdoor environmental air quality and what we can do to help make it

better to secure a safer environment for people all over the world. This is a

really fascinating chat about something that I think a lot of us know very, very little about and I have to admit that I walked away empowered feeling like I could make better decisions for myself as a consumer about how to live a healthier life based on the evidence.

So guys, without any further ado, here she is, Dr. Marilyn Black. Well, Marilyn, thank you so much for

joining me today.

Thank you. I'm happy to be here.

Absolutely. So there's so many questions that I'm just like bursting with right off the top, but I thought

maybe what we could do is set the scene a little bit.

Before we even talk about your research and you know what you're up to now. little bit

and you know what you're up to now

I would love to talk about where it is that you work.
