Scadenza: 21 September 2021
Topic:
Applicants should propose research actions that advance the understanding of the indoor air quality and related health and safety issues and should include all of the following activities:
-Identification and characterisation of sources and routes of exposure and dispersion of chemical and biological indoor air pollution, e.g. indoor air microbiome and allergens, viral pathogens, household chemicals, biocides in building materials, particulate matter, radon as well as emerging pollutants;
-Identification of differences and modes of interaction between indoor and outdoor air quality at relevant and representative locations;
-Development and deployment of technologies enabling cost-effective monitoring of indoor air quality (e.g. air quality sensors) and user-friendly alert systems;
-Development and deployment of effect-based test systems for the detection of synergistic effects of different biogenic particles and substances as well as additional chemical substances such as volatile organic compounds, including in vitro and in vivo approaches with respect to 3Rs[2];
-Identification of body burdens resulting from multipollutant (real-life scenario) indoor exposures and associated health effects, with specific focus on vulnerable population groups and sensitive life stages;
-Conducting dose-response studies to facilitate the setting of purposeful quality standards;
-Development of cost-effective, environment-friendly and scalable technologies to improve indoor air quality to reduce disease burdens;
-Preparation of guidelines and training materials for interventions, supporting health promotion and disease prevention in various sectors, e.g. construction and transport, and in various socio-economic settings;
-Delivery of FAIR[3] data and databases structured to allow user-friendly access to information about exposures, sources and risk factors.
Aspects such as gender, regional variations, socio-economics and culture should be considered, where appropriate.
