The UK regulates the air outside your front door in numbers — a daily index, a ten-point scale, a standing committee, a statute. Indoor air, where you spend 90% of your time, has none of these. Not even a committee tasked with producing a reading.

We unpack 5 concepts you will need before reading the article: The Perimeter Problem, The Committee Deferral Loop, The Fibre Fork, The Missing Committee, and The 1931 Precedent.
