aeroHEALTH
In aeroHEALTH (www.aerohealth.eu) the toxicity of polluted air is analyzed. A major step into real world scenarios is made by taking into consideration the interactions of anthropogenic and biogenic emissions (e.g. car emissions and α-pinene from trees) and atmospheric aging of aerosols (see also newHICE). The aim is to elucidate the complexity of ambient air components in order to evaluate in a most realistic way their potential adverse effects on human health. Therefore lung cell cultures are exposed at the air-liquid interface and in vitro disease models are developed. After exposure cytotoxicity, genotoxicity and disease specific effects are measured and a comprehensive transcriptome analysis is performed.
