Different profiles could be included in this category within the K-HEALTHinAIR project.
Of course, individuals from general society (citizens) who are interested in IAQ topic, but also students, associations of patients and families suffering from diseases such as COPD, environmental organisations or indoor places workers.
The knowledge Sharing Module provides them useful information and practical guidelines to maintain and improve IAQ.
In this K-pill, we make a simple analysis of smoking indoors in different parameters measuring the air quality. To do so, we use data from one week in three houses with different conditions.
In this K-pill, we will see the impact of using plants, in fact a vertical garden, indoors in order to keep the relative humidity of the air in proper values in dry indoor environments.
Every day, we breathe in millions of tiny airborne particles, some of which can have serious implications for our health. But what exactly are Particulate Matter (PM) and Fine Dust, and why should we be concerned?
COPD is a chronic respiratory disease that makes air flow in and out of the lungsdifficult. It develops slowly but can have a major impact on quality of life.
Smoking is not a vice or a habit, it is a chronic diseasecaused by addiction to nicotine. This addiction hasserious health consequences, especially for peoplewith COPD or asthma.
Candles, often used for ambiance, relaxation, or scent, can release a range of harmful pollutants into the air as they burn.
Since the rise of remote work – especially after the COVID-19 pandemic – millions have turned their homes into permanent workspaces. While it may feel safer and more comfortable than an office, working from home presents a hidden risk: poor indoor air quality (IAQ).
This summary is based on a report from the K-HEALTHinAIR project that analysed what affects indoor air quality (IAQ) in real residential settings. Using sensors installed in the kitchens of seven homes over a two-week period – and activity logs filled in by the residents – researchers tracked how everyday life impacts the air we breathe indoors.
