A plumber who shows up to fix a leaking toilet with a single tool is not likely to succeed. The same is true if a mental health professional offers only one approach for a complex problem like depression.

Sadly, the number of people struggling with depression increased dramatically at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Stress – from school closures to job losses to the death of loved ones – made life more challenging and increased the risk of developing emotional difficulties. For some groups that have experienced discrimination, ongoing inequities made their mental health even worse.

Air Sensor technology advances and increasing availability in the consumer marketplace are changing the landscape of indoor air quality management. As air sensor technology evolves and becomes more widely used in relation to indoor air quality management, it is increasingly common for a sensor or a combination of sensors to be incorporated in equipment, appliances and other devices that measure, record, and/or display the concentration of certain pollutants or environmental conditions indoors. In addition, sensors are increasingly being used in devices to trigger an action, such as turning on an exhaust fan or air cleaner when pollutant concentrations or environmental conditions exceed a pre-defined level.
