Researchers focused on IAQ-related topics, for example, on the levels of pollutants that can damage health or cause discomfort to occupants in their homes.
Indoor air quality is more than a technical challenge — it’s a public health priority. Future research must not only broaden its scope but also dive deeper into how pollutants interact, impact health, and vary across settings.
Pilot 5 of the K-HEALTHinAIR project investigates indoor air quality (IAQ) in residential and educational settings across Poland and Austria. Using low-cost sensor technology, the study aims to validate sensor performance, identify pollutant sources, and explore links between air quality fluctuations and health outcomes.
This brief summary presents findings from the second stage of the K-HEALTHinAIR project, which builds on the initial scan of indoor environments across Europe. While the first phase focused on characterising conditions and refining methods, this second phase turns attention to uncovering the sources and key determinants influencing indoor air quality (IAQ).
