The Horizon Europe project “Evidence Driven Indoor Air Quality Improvement (EDIAQI)” was launched in December 2022. The goal of the project is to characterize sources and routes of exposure and dispersion of chemical, biological, and emerging indoor air pollution in multiple cities in the EU. The group at the Institute for Anthropological Research is led by Jelena Šarac, Ph.D., and other group members are Dubravka Havaš Auguštin, Ph.D., Eva Anđela Delale, Ph.D., and Iva Šunić, M.Sc. The project activities of the Institute will include the collection of household dust in the homes of asthmatic children, metagenomic analysis of the microbiome from house dust, and the creation and implementation of a questionnaire on citizens’ awareness of indoor air quality and its impact on health.
