Moving towards a Robust Definition for a “Healthy” Indoor Microbiome

ABSTRACT Buildings of the future should be designed to support human health, both by promoting the presence of beneficial microbes and by reducing exposure to harmful ones. However, we still do not have a robust definition of what constitutes a “healthy” indoor microbiome. Such a definition would al...
