The organising committee of the 23rd October, 2024 National Dialogue on Indoor Air Quality: Understanding the Challenges and Finding Solutions has announced that Dr. Steve D Whittaker, a globally renowned expert in environmental health and air quality, will deliver the keynote address at the event.
The National Dialogue on Indoor Air Quality takes place at the St. Kitts Marriott Resort Ballroom.

His work spans over a decade of experience, tackling issues ranging from exposure risk assessments to health impacts caused by poor indoor air quality.”
In his address next week, Dr. Whittaker is expected to clarify why indoor air quality is essential to creating healthier and safer spaces across all sectors, including government, private businesses, and community buildings. He will also highlight how improving indoor air quality directly supports public health initiatives and supports the Dr. Terrance Drew administration’s Sustainable Island State Agenda.
“This dialogue is a timely and crucial step towards understanding the environmental factors affecting indoor spaces and, by extension, the health of all citizens. I look forward to sharing insights on how we can collectively implement practical solutions to enhance indoor air quality for a healthier future,” told the media ahead of his presentation next Wednesday.
Chairman of the Organising Committee, Dr. Marcus Natta further noted, “We are thrilled to have Dr. Whittaker lead this discussion. His expertise will be invaluable as we work towards practical, community-driven solutions to improve the indoor air quality of our homes, schools, and workplaces.
“We invite all stakeholders and the general public to attend and contribute to this pivotal national conversation.”

The public is being urged to participate in the conversation on how poor indoor air quality can affect respiratory health, productivity, and environmental safety.
