SUMMARY:Quantifying personal exposure to air pollution  with sensor techno

DESCRIPTION:Air pollution is a leading environmental risk factor for chron
 ic disease and millions of premature deaths every year worldwide. Much of 
 this evidence comes from epidemiological studies that employed networks of
  outdoor reference monitoring stations to provide indications of the effec
 ts of ambient air pollution on population health. However\, as individuals
  move between different\, highly heterogeneous microenvironments that are 
 mainly situated indoors\, outdoor static measurements become potentially p
 oor metrics of actual personal exposure\, leading in many cases to bias an
 d error in health estimations. We develop miniaturised multi-pollutant por
 table sensors and computational models to improve associations between per
 sonal exposure and health outcomes.
