A poster about the LEARN project was presented by its partner ENVIROMETRICS at NOSE 2024, the 9th International Conference on Environmental Monitoring of Odours and VOCs, which took place in Naples, Italy from the 15th to the 18th of September.
The event, organised by the Italian Association of Chemical Engineering (AIDIC), gathered industry and academic stakeholders from all over the world to discuss industrial needs, new technology developments and research opportunities on environmental odour monitoring and control, also covering fields in which this is particularly useful, like product development, medical diagnosis, or indoor air quality.
In the context of this conference, Vasiliki Sideri, head of ENVIROMETRICS’ Environmental Consulting Department, and Karakosta Chara, senior sustainable energy and climate change expert at the company, presented the poster ‘Improving indoor air quality in schools: the LEARN project approach‘. This poster introduced the potential risks of poor indoor air quality in schools for children’s health and cognitive development, and explained how LEARN is tackling them through the assessment of indoor air quality at schools in different countries, the development of new sensors to better detect pollutants, the implementation of air filtration systems, and the presentation of these results in a data hub.
The LEARN project partner ENVIROMETRICS specialises in the environmental protection and sustainable development field, providing consulting services to the private and public sectors in 11 countries since 2002. Within the LEARN project, the company leads ‘Work Package 7: FAIR air quality and health data hub‘, taking care of centralising data handling according to FAIR principles and building a hub to make data accessible to different stakeholders.
The LEARN project is a Horizon Europe project meant to monitor and evaluate indoor air quality at schools around Europe and its impact on children’s health. Our main goal is to develop and deploy novel sensors that can detect possibly harmful air pollutants, as well as advanced biosensors and optimised air remediation strategies.
