Role in the project
The CHUM will lead WP3 dedicated to indoor air pollution and routes of exposure. It will also be one of the 5 centres to participate in the clinical study aiming to evaluate the impact of synergies of indoor air pollutants on childhood health and wellbeing. The CHUM will contribute to the WP 5 , 7 and 8 regarding sensor integration, data management, guidelines development, standardization activities , project management and networking.
Isabella Annesi-Maesano | Prof. MD, PhD, DSc Allergy Department and IDESP Co-director
I’m an expologist and an epidemiologist involved in the exposomic approach of schoolchildren’s health. As expologist I will estimate schoolchildren’s exposome integrating exposures and sources of exposure at the individual and ecological level. Among others, I will deploy individual sensors (Canarins) assessing air pollutants concentrations in real time. As epidemiologist, I will assess exposome’s impact on schoolchildren’s health (asthma, mental health, etc). through EnWAS. I will conduct Health Impact Assessment to evaluate prevention measures. To better understand the mechanisms, I will also assess inhalation rate and assumed dose of major air pollutants in schoolchildren in real life conditions. Finally, I will contribute to policy proposals.
