Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims at understanding the relation between indoor air quality in schools, including both chemical and microbiological determinants, and cognition in children by gathering data across different parts of Europe

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The LEARN project, funded by the European Commission, aims to gain an in-depth understanding about indoor air quality in schools and its impact on children's cognitive development. This involves evaluating school cohorts in three different countries (Belgium, Greece and Denmark). In participating schools, we measure and characterise indoor and outdoor air pollutants and evaluate the presence of exposure biomarkers and their effect on children's cognition. Measuring indoor air quality, exposure and creating remedial strategies are crucial steps to improve air quality in the school environment and ensure the well-being of children.

Participants

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Air purification

The intervention will consist of air purification placed in the classrooms.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

OurAir SQ 1750 - Mobile Air Purification System for indoor

Intervention Type DEVICE

Filtration device will be placed in classrooms. Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations will be used to find optimal position and operation mode for air purification systems in classrooms.

Control

Filtration will be turned off in the air purifier placed in the classrooms in the control part of the study.

Group Type SHAM_COMPARATOR

Sham intervention

Intervention Type DEVICE

Filtration will be turned off in the control part of the study and then will be turned on during the intervention.
