	Panel Members: Bill Nazaroff, UC Berkeley Charles Weschler, Rutgers Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute Deborah Bennett, UC Davis Paul Wennberg, Caltech
	Potential Discussion Questions: What are the opportunities for incorporating existing research findings into practice, and what are the barriers? What research topics are most important to advancing our understanding of the composition of indoor air? What are the major gaps in our current understanding of the building factors (e.g., ventilation rate, temperature, relative humidity, and others) that impact indoor chemistry? What research is most needed on indoor exposures and their effects?

What research is needed to define indoor air quality (i.e., which components matter in terms of their effects on metrics ranging from safety and comfort to health and productivity)?
What methodological or technological barriers are most strongly hindering our understanding of indoor chemistry?
What types of coordination across fields or collaboration are most important for advancing our understanding of indoor chemistry and interactions between chemical, particulate, and microbial components of the indoor environment?
There is a lot already known about linkages between chemical exposure, air quality, and human health. What do we need to consider in order to place indoor chemistry into that context?
