Research Clusters

Heatwaves and Health

Health risk varies following many factors, therefore estimation of the total health risks caused by Thermal Stress requires quantification of health outcomes associated with a large range of economic and societal sectors. healthRiskADAPT project will assess and generate a series of health indicators associated with exposure to hazards of heatwaves and cold waves taking into account contextual factors (e.g., socioeconomic, environmental, health systems, pre-existing health conditions) in order to provide cheaper, faster and more reliable health risk assessment services with vulnerability and risk indices at multiple levels of granularity for regional and local level application tailoring, operational and management, preparedness of the health system (e.g., early warning and fast response) and strategic pathway planning.

Air Quality and Health

Health risk varies following many factors, therefore estimation of the total health risks caused by Air Quality requires quantification of health outcomes associated with a large range of economic and societal sectors. healthRiskADAPT project will assess and generate a series of health indicators associated with exposure to hazards of air pollution (e.g PM2.5, PM10, O3..) taking into account contextual factors (e.g., socioeconomic, environmental, health systems, pre-existing health conditions) in order to provide cheaper, faster and more reliable health risk assessment services with vulnerability and risk indices at multiple levels of granularity for regional and local level application tailoring, operational and management, preparedness of the health system (e.g., early warning and fast response) and strategic pathway planning.

Wildfire Emissions

Health risk varies following many factors, therefore estimation of the total health risks caused by Wildfire emissions requires quantification of health outcomes associated with a large range of economic and societal sectors. healthRiskADAPT project will assess and generate a series of health indicators associated with exposure to hazards of wildfire emissions (e.g black carbon, carbon monoxide.. ) taking into account contextual factors (e.g., socioeconomic, environmental, health systems, pre-existing health conditions) in order to provide cheaper, faster and more reliable health risk assessment services with vulnerability and risk indices at multiple levels of granularity for regional and local level application tailoring, operational and management, preparedness of the health system (e.g., early warning and fast response) and strategic pathway planning.

Pollen and Allergens

Health risk varies following many factors, therefore estimation of the total health risks caused by Pollen requires quantification of health outcomes associated with a large range of economic and societal sectors. healthRiskADAPT project will assess and generate a series of health indicators associated with exposure to hazards of pollen (e.g alder, birch, olives.. ) taking into account contextual factors (e.g., socioeconomic, environmental, health systems, pre-existing health conditions) in order to provide cheaper, faster and more reliable health risk assessment services with vulnerability and risk indices at multiple levels of granularity for regional and local level application tailoring, operational and management, preparedness of the health system (e.g., early warning and fast response) and strategic pathway planning.
