Overview

This study aims at understanding the relation between indoor air quality in schools, including both chemical and microbiological determinants, and cognition in children by gathering data across different parts of Europe

Description

The LEARN project, funded by the European Commission, aims to gain an in-depth understanding about indoor air quality in schools and its impact on children's cognitive development. This involves evaluating school cohorts in three different countries (Belgium, Greece and Denmark). In participating schools, we measure and characterise indoor and outdoor air pollutants and evaluate the presence of exposure biomarkers and their effect on children's cognition. Measuring indoor air quality, exposure and creating remedial strategies are crucial steps to improve air quality in the school environment and ensure the well-being of children.
