Work Package 2
Health effect assessment of particulate matter (PM) and its components, nanoparticles, and their source contributions
We will provide new inputs (potentially more appropriate exposure metrics for health studies) and exposure approaches with improved spatial resolution at the urban scale, which can be used for future health studies. Epidemiological analysis of readily available time series of mortality and morbidity and analysis of the oxidative potential of particulate matter components, along with source contributions, comprise the first evaluation of the added value of more advanced air quality characterization.
Furthermore, fine-scale maps of urban exposure to nanoparticles and other pollutants will be generated using urban scale models, mobile measurements, and smart sensors with citizen involvement linked to the participating air quality monitoring networks.

Health effect assessment of particulate matter (PM) and its components, nanoparticles, and their source contributions
We will assess the impact of nanoparticles on health- an important metric that has not been studied until now. In addition, we’ll study the changed composition of PM in our air.
