The majority of citizens spend most of their time indoors, making it essential to monitor and improve indoor air quality (IAQ). INQUIRE aims to protect citizen health by providing knowledge, tools, and measures to substantially IAQ. The project will conduct research and evaluate innovative actions to reduce hazardous chemical and biological determinants in homes, positively impacting the health of residents.

The project seeks to comprehensively advance the understanding of the determinants of IAQ in homes by implementing innovative, low-cost, non-invasive sampling strategies (sensors, indoor/outdoor passive sampling, urine biomonitoring) to characterize determinants of household IAQ and their importance to human exposure.
