WP 6 - Health risk assessment to evaluate IAQ in classrooms and study the relationships with children’s health to evaluate the relationships between technical features of school environments and health outcomes to define priorities for policy development and to identify research needs AIMS

WP 6 - Health risk assessment Health risk assessment: to estimate the probability to have health effects in relation to an hazard exposure

WP 6 - Health risk assessment

Background report (WP2: Literature review; Meta-analysis of comparable epidemiological studies) Data from field studies: - WP3: IAQ pollution in school environments - WP4: Health outcomes in children - WP5: Cross analysis IAQ - Health outcomes STRATEGY - Evaluation of impact of IAQ in classrooms on children’s health based on:

WP 6 - Health risk assessment PM, Formaldehyde, Carbon Monoxide, Nitrogen Dioxide, Benzene, Naphthalene, Halogenated compounds, PAHs, Ozone Health risk assessment of IAQ pollutants in schools

WP 6 - Health risk assessment STRATEGY – Technical features of classroom environment and study of the relationships with children’s health Relationship between technical features of school environment (building materials, HVAC system, traffic density, etc) and health outcomes performed based on: Literature background report (WP2) Results from field studies (WP3.1 Characterization of the school buildings; WP3.4 Environment context and modelling; WP5 Cross analysis)

EnVIE: health, exposure, and source issues
