ULTRHAS – Ultrafine particles from Transportation – Health Assessment of sources

 

The aim of the EU-funded ULTRHAS project is to reveal the health hazards posed by nanoparticles from various transport sources. In particular, it will address the effects of different transport modes, fuel technologies and wear components, including atmospheric aging processes, on the physicochemical properties of particle and gas emissions. To investigate the adverse effects on the lung, the project will conduct emission measurements, exposure and toxicity tests under strictly controlled laboratory conditions. The Aerosol Toxicology group is mainly involved in WP3 and therefore closely collaborates with several research groups at CMA.

Project funded by European Union´s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 955390. https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/955390

Scientists involved: Johannes Becker (PhD project) and Dr. Mathilde Delaval

Collaboration with Dr. Sebastiano Di Bucchianico (Topic IV, Aerosol Mutagenesis), Dr. Martin Sklorz and Anusmita Das (Topic II, Aerosol Physics), Dr. Jürgen Schnelle-Kreis and Deeksha Shukla (Topic I, Aerosol Chemistry).
