Vorkamp, Katrin; Viegas, Carla; Almeida, Marta; Aretaki, Maria Antonia; Bossi, Rossana; Castagnoli, Emmanuelle; Cervantes, Renata; Desmet, JudithThe Horizon Europe project InChildHealth aims to study indoor air quality in European schools and the effects of physical, chemical, and microbiological parameters on the health of school children aged 6-13. As European schools can vary considerably in terms of size, age, materials, equipment, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), cleaning procedures, etc., a questionnaire was developed for a standa...
Seasonal variation in exposure to particulate matter among children attending d...
Charres, Isabella; Cipoli, Yago Alonso; Furst, Leonardo; Vicente, Estela D.; Casotti Rienda, Ismael; Lazaridis, Mihalis; Feliciano, Manuel; Alves, CéliaExposure to particulate matter (PM) has been associated with several adverse health outcomes. Studies indicate that children may be exposed to much higher concentrations of PM at school than in other environments. There exists very little data on the deposited dose of PM while children attend classes. This study was carried out in a school located near an industrial complex in Portugal and attended by children ...
Lung-deposited dose of particulate matter from residential exposure to smoke fr...
Vicente, Estela Domingos; Alves, Célia A.; Martins, Vânia; Almeida, Susana Marta; Lazaridis, MihalisResidential settings are of utmost importance for human exposure, as it is where people spend most of their time. Residential wood combustion is a widespread practice known as a source of indoor particulate matter (PM). Nevertheless, research on the risks of exposure associated with this source is scarce, and a better understanding of respiratory deposition of smoke particles is needed. The dosimetry model ExDo...
