The first academic paper from the EDIAQI project (Evidence-driven indoor air quality improvement: An innovative and interdisciplinary approach to improving indoor air quality) addresses the emerging threat of indoor air pollution, a significant health risk that affects vulnerable populations such as children, the elderly, and those with respiratory conditions.
Despite extensive research, understanding of indoor pollution sources, indoor-outdoor interactions, and the effectiveness of ventilation and filtration remains limited, as EU regulations primarily focus on ambient air quality.
The EDIAQI project aims to fill this gap by providing user-friendly monitoring solutions and generating new insights into pollution sources and exposure pathways across multiple European cities.
Consortium EDIAQI (which is part of the IDEAL cluster), consisting of 81 authors, has collaborated on this first publication, which lays the foundation for their future research.
