Designação: K-HEALTHinAIR– Knowledge for improving indoor AIR quality and HEALTH

Entidade Proponente: FUNDACION CARTIF (CAR)

Investigador Responsável: Susana Viegas

 

Project Summary / Breve Descrição do Projeto:

K-HEALTHinAIR aims to assess the effects of indoor air quality (IAQ) on health by conducting a comprehensive monitoring campaign of chemical and biological pollutants in various representative EU indoor environments. The project combines extensive data collection with research into the sources and interactions of these pollutants and their correlations with health issues through theoretical analyses and clinical trials.

The initiative will provide affordable measurement techniques for monitoring and improving IAQ, producing open-access guidelines for public authorities and stakeholders. Additionally, K-HEALTHinAIR will develop innovative tools for citizens to help them monitor IAQ and identify health risks. The findings will be published on an accessible platform to support new legislation and standards. The project seeks to engage stakeholders to ensure its results have a meaningful impact.
