Valencia, Spain, 30 June 2026 — Indoor air pollution is an increasing public health concern, affecting the places where people spend most of their time: homes, schools, hospitals, workplaces and public buildings. After four years of research, the EU-funded K-HEALTHinAIR project is presenting a portfolio of 11 Key Exploitable Results designed to support healthier indoor environments through monitoring, data analysis, practical guidance, innovation and policy-oriented knowledge.
The results respond to a key challenge: how to better understand the links between indoor air quality and health, and how to translate this knowledge into action for buildings, healthcare, regulation and everyday life. Particular attention has been given to settings where vulnerable groups, including children, older people and respiratory patients, may be exposed.
K-HEALTHinAIR brought together a multidisciplinary European consortium working across indoor air quality monitoring, data science, microbiology, clinical research, public health, technology development and stakeholder engagement.
“The value of K-HEALTHinAIR lies in connecting research, policy and practice. The project has generated evidence, tools and recommendations that can help translate what we know about indoor air quality and health into concrete actions for buildings, healthcare, regulation and everyday life.”— Leticia Pérez, Kveloce, K-HEALTHinAIR Exploitation Manager.
K-HEALTHinAIR has generated outputs with potential value for researchers, public authorities, healthcare professionals, building managers, technology developers, policymakers and citizens.
The project’s 11 Key Exploitable Results include:
Together, these results show how indoor air quality research can be transformed into tools, evidence and recommendations with practical value.
A central part of K-HEALTHinAIR’s work has been the development of improved monitoring and data analysis solutions. These include advanced indoor air quality monitoring tools, portable devices and AI-based approaches designed to identify patterns, interpret exposure data and support a better understanding of how indoor environments affect health.
The project’s Open Access Platform is a key part of this legacy. Its Data Management Module supports access to data-related resources and technical outputs, while the Knowledge Sharing Module makes project knowledge accessible to different users, including citizens, researchers, industry actors and public authorities.
K-HEALTHinAIR has also produced guidance, publications and policy-oriented recommendations to support future action on indoor air quality. These outputs can inform discussions on standards, monitoring approaches, public health measures and healthier indoor environments.
The project’s awareness and educational resources are designed to help different audiences understand indoor air quality risks, pollutant sources and possible mitigation measures.
Several K-HEALTHinAIR results address the needs of people who may be more vulnerable to poor indoor air quality, including respiratory patients, older people, children and workers exposed in specific indoor environments.
Among the project’s health-related innovations is KHIAplus, a hybrid-care platform designed to support remote monitoring and follow-up of high-risk respiratory patients. The project also explored new tools for occupational safety, including a sensor for detecting airborne aflatoxin B₁ in workplace environments where exposure may be a concern.
As K-HEALTHinAIR reaches its final phase, the consortium is working to ensure that project results remain visible, accessible and useful beyond the project lifetime. Some outputs, including the Open Access Platform and knowledge resources, are expected to continue supporting research, awareness, policy dialogue and future innovation.
K-HEALTHinAIR’s results mark an important step towards indoor environments that are better monitored, better understood and better protected.
