Online to Life By Susan Valenti
To look at the daily schedule for the Maine
Indoor Air Quality Council's (MIAQC)

event during 2019 and not 2020.
MAY'S WAYS:
A Lesson in the Physics of
Airflows By Jeffrey May
Air is a fluid, like water, and like water, air flows.
Warmer air is less dense than cooler air, so
warmer air rises and cooler air sinks. In an en-
closed space, air warmed by some heat source
— a baseboard heating convector or a boiler, for
example — will rise and flow along the ceiling.

the air is surpassed only by the squeals of children
dancing among the pumpkins.
