Using novel portable air quality monitors to improve personal exposure and dose estimations for health studies
Poor air quality is a severe issue for society, affecting the health and well-being of huge parts of the population worldwide. To efficiently reduce the risk of premature death associated with air pollution, a deeper understanding of the causal links between air pollution exposure and human health …
