Improving indoor air quality for a healthier home and Europe

INQUIRE

Project Description

Enabling homes to realise zero pollution holds multiple health benefits for all Europeans – especially our children. This is the goal of the EU-funded INQUIRE project. It will provide the knowledge, tools and measures needed to significantly enhance indoor air quality. Research on hazardous determinants and their sources, risk factors and effects will focus in particular on infants and young children up to 5 years old. The work will include non-invasive sampling and monitoring of over 200 homes in eight countries over the course of 1 month. Results will inform evidence-based recommendations and support beneficial exploitation by industry and policymakers.

➡️Our partners at @inegi_portugal have been busy characterizing #VOCs emitted from a range of consumer products

🕵Benzyl alcohol and limonene were the most frequently detected chemicals across the products tested and air fresheners were found to emit the most chemicals overall‼️

🥇Prioritizing #SVOCs and #VOCs from the huge dataset for Tier II testing (@INQUIRE_EU WP3) and #insilico modelling (WP4) is a complex challenge‼️

➡️ but with our multidisciplinary team at #VITO and data science experts, we’re confident we’ll succeed🥳
