Mechanisms of the Development of ALLergy (MEDALL)

Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2015,

Causes explaining the epidemic of IgE-associated (allergic) diseases are unclear. MeDALL (Mechanisms of the Development of Allergy) aims at generating novel knowledge on mechanisms of allergy initiation, in particular in childhood. To understand how a complex network of genetic and environmental factors leads to complex allergic phenotypes, a novel stepwise, large and integrative translational app ...

Combing social interaction and long term monitoring for promoting independent living (Giraff+)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

Description GIRAFF+ develops a system for early detection and adaptive support to people's changing needs related to ageing. The Giraff+-system consists of a network of home sensors that measure e.g. blood pressure and temperature, or detect e.g. whether somebody occupies a chair, falls down or moves inside a room. The data from these sensor ...

Population Exposure to PAH. (EXPAH)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2014,

Background Among persistent organic pollutants (POPs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a class of complex organic chemicals of increasing concern. They are commonly found in ambient air and some have been identified as suspected carcinogens. PAHs and their derivatives are produced by the incomplete combustion of organic material. In highly urb ...

Particles size and composition in Mediterranean countries: geographical variability and short-term health effects. (MED-PARTICLES)

Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2013,

Background Knowledge of the effects of air pollution on human health has grown in recent decades as a result of the enormous scientific effort to design and conduct large epidemiological studies. At present, most scientists agree that airborne particles with a diameter of less than 10 micrometre (μm) have the most significant short-term effects on human ...

European Study of Cohorts for Air Pollution Effects (ESCAPE)

Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

"European policy making is hampered by considerable uncertainty about the magnitude and nature of the impacts of long term exposure to air pollution on human health. ESCAPE is a collaboration of more than 30 European cohort studies including some 900,000 subjects. It is aimed at quantifying health impacts of air pollution and at reducing uncertainty. ESCAPE will also test new hypotheses on specifi ...
