6. Air quality and climate change
Major research areas:
Aerosols and their role on air pollution and climate, (EUCAARI and PEGASOS),
Environmental impacts of megacities (CITYZEN and MEGAPOLI),
the nitrogen cycle (NITROEUROPE),
Effects on European Ecosystems (ECLAIRE-under negotiation),
Climate and Air Quality Impacts of Short-Lived Pollutants (ECLIPSE-under negotiation)

7. Air Pollution and Health
Major research areas
Health effects of ambient air pollution: ESCAPE - increasing knowledge database on the long-term health effects of air pollution exposure (PM10, PM2.5, the soot content of PM2.5 and NOx) by studying 30 European cohorts
Health impacts of indoor air pollutants: HITEA (microbial pollution) and OFFICAIR (IAQ in offices in view of energy savings initiatives)
Environmental health impact assessment
-FP6: INTARESE/HEIMTSA (health impact of air pollution policies)
-FP7: PURGE, URGENCHE (health impact of greenhouse gas reduction policies), TRANSPHORM (integrated assessment of health impacts from road, shipping, rail and aviation emissions)
Climate change and aeroallergens: ATOPICA - how the spread of aeroallergens will change with climate change; interactions with air pollution (under negotiation)
