What is EDIAQI?

EDIAQI stands for Evidence
Driven Air Quality Improvement.

It is a European funded research and innovation action under the Horizon Europe framework programme.

The EDIAQI project will study indoor air pollution in European cities, using short-term, high-intensity measurements and long-term, large-scale monitoring. The project will aim to understand the sources, routes of exposure, and health effects of indoor air pollution.

EDIAQI pilots

4 pilots covering large test areas with big sample sizes to generate evidence for policy, recommendations and training:
Schools, offices, entertainment and residential building scenarios.
Administrative and social care buildings, schools, kindergartens and universities.
SCH2021 cohort, households of 200 patients, school children with asthma.
Existing users of ventilation and conditioning systems.
