N1 - Funding Information: Within the European Union, several projects dedicated to indoor air quality and funded by Horizon Europe are being developed with the participation of Portuguese academic institutions. NOVA-NSPH integrates, as partner, the Knowledge for Improving Indoor Air Quality and Health (K-HEALTHinAir) project that will implement an extensive monitoring campaign of chemical and biological indoor air pollutants in representative locations (nine scenarios) together with dedicated research on sources, interactions, and correlations with health problems. These results are relevant, mainly, to the scientific, management, and decision makers’ community because they will provide user-friendly and affordable IAQ monitoring solutions, technological IAQ solutions , and guidelines for IAQ improvement. The InChildHealth project has the participation of two PhD students of NOVA-NSPH Public Health doctoral programme and is dedicated to the integration of technical, medical, environmental, and social science research to identify determinants of IAQ affecting school-age children (6–10 years old children). This project aims to evaluate health impacts, the development of an Integrated Risk Assessment Tool, guidelines, recommendations, and training material to improve IAQ and reduce disease burdens. To achieve these ambitious goals, field measurements will be conducted in schools in seven European cities, but also including homes, sports halls, and transport modes, to identify contamination sources, exposure routes, and other factors influencing IAQ in such environments. As a spinoff of the project, it is also intended to evaluate the effects of multiple contaminants exposure through a cytotoxicity testing pipeline in vitro approach.
