The aim of Urban Exposure
is to characterise human exposure from air-pollution compounds
and to develop an integrated exposure management tool.
One of the most important
environmental concerns of today is the negative impact of pollution
on human health. While the air quality guidelines of WHO and EC
standards are relevant to outdoor pollution levels, the underlying
epidemiological studies need to rely on correct exposure estimation.
Urban Exposure will provide better
understanding of exposure, translated into an advanced science-based
tool for management of urban air quality, and the tool will be operationally
implemented. In this way, the assessment of human exposure from
indoor and outdoor air to particulate matter, and the assessment
of human exposure from house water and ambient air to drinking water
disinfection by-products, will become available as a support mechanism
for urban management decisions.
