Knowledge for improving indoor AIR quality and HEALTH

Descrizione del progetto

Quanto è pulita l’aria che respirate?

Dal prurito agli occhi alla nausea, la scarsa qualità dell’aria interna può farvi ammalare. Si tratta di una grande preoccupazione, poiché l’esposizione a breve e lungo termine all’inquinamento dell’aria interna può causare una serie di problemi di salute, tra cui malattie gravi come le cardiopatie e il cancro. Il progetto K-HEALTHinAIR, finanziato dall’UE, valuterà gli effetti sulla salute della qualità dell’aria interna, sulla base di un’ampia campagna di monitoraggio degli inquinanti chimici e biologici presenti nell’aria interna. Sulla base dei risultati ottenuti, il progetto fornirà anche metodi accessibili e di facile attuazione per monitorare e migliorare la qualità dell’aria, tra cui attrezzature e strumenti per il suo monitoraggio quotidiano nelle case e nei luoghi di lavoro. I risultati consentiranno di elaborare nuove normative con fondamenti scientifici.

Obiettivo

K-HEALTHinAIR aims at the assessment of the indoor air quality (IAQ) effects in health on the basis of an extensive monitoring campaign of chemical and biological indoor air pollutants in several very representative at EU level indoor locations together with a deep research on their sources, interactions and main correlations with health problems by means of theoretical analysis, clinical trials and tests (includes in vivo/vitro approaches). Moreover, Project will deliver affordable and easy for implementation measurements to monitor and improve current IAQ.
The project will deliver structured knowledge coming from both the monitoring, characterization and research stages formed by extensive and accurate data, qualitative information and guidelines in an easy and fully open access format to support public authorities, policy makers and many other collectives. Project will also deliver innovative equipment and associated tools to the citizens as main final users enabling them to monitor indoor air quality for identifying health risks and suggesting suitable solutions to mitigate them.
The advanced knowledge will be obtained by means of the deployment of a set of fully complementary activities.
The organization and publication of the knowledge generated in a fully open access platform looks for being considered a reference in accuracy and simplicity to favor easy consultation from public authorities and policy makers and support the definition of new legislations, regulations and standards. K-HEALTHinAIR ensures the integration of the existing legislation (e.g. in work places) within a comprehensive proposition of new indoor air quality standards leading new science-based regulations.
K-HEALTHinAIR will deploy activities leading to effectively engaging most of the collectives concerned verifying that project results will impact as it is expected.

Project K-HEALTHinAIR is part of the European cluster on indoor air quality and health (name and acronym to be decided)
