During the 2026 Respiratory Effectiveness Group (REG) summit, held from 19-21 March, EPFL’s Athanasios Nenes presented key results from SynAir-G’s work on the indoor air quality monitoring in schools.
The REG Summit brings together a diverse, international community of experts in respiratory research and care, spanning clinical medicine, environmental science, and public health. This interdisciplinary setting provided an excellent platform to showcase SynAir-G’s latest findings on indoor air pollution in schools.
In his presentation, Athanasios Nenes introduced the FORTH ENSENSIA multi-sensor low-cost air quality monitoring system, which delivers high-quality data on pollution sources and variability. He also shared results from school monitoring campaigns, highlighting the varying composition of indoor air pollution in classrooms over time, the contribution of outdoor pollution to the indoor air quality (IAQ) and how this varies across countries and seasons. Lastly, EPLF’s unique LAPI-BREATH facility was spotlighted, which can greatly support testing and optimizing SynAir-G’s real-time virus sensors.

The summit offered a valuable opportunity for SynAir-G to reconnect with the research community, gain recognition for its work, and contribute to the growing body of knowledge on indoor air quality and its impact on children’s health. SynAir-G remains committed to advancing the understanding of indoor air quality and developing practical, sustainable solutions to improve the indoor air for children.
