Raising people’s awareness of air quality will help them to better accept measures such as those that limit traffic in city centers, argued Marta Almeida, a researcher at the Center for Nuclear Sciences and Technologies (C2TN) at Instituto Superior Técnico (IST).

Reducing the energy footprint in schools and helping to change behaviors in school communities was the objective of ClimACT project. This European project, financed through the Interreg Sudoe program (which supports transnational projects in Southwest European countries), was carried out in Portugal, Spain, France and Gibraltar and distinguished, by the European Commission, in the EU

The ClimACT project, led by C2TN/IST to promote the energy transition in schools towards a low-carbon economy, was distinguished today in Brussels. It won in the Youth category, within the scope of the European Union Sustainable Energy Awards, promoted by the European Commission.Among a hundred applications, there were 12 finalists for the EU Sustainable Energy

A study developed by C2TN/IST highlights that the samples of black dust that most worried the population from Paio Pires are non-inhalable particles. Therefore, they do not have harmful effects on human health. It remains to investigate the smallest particles, adds Marta Almeida from C2TN.

Open windows and doors helped reduce carbon dioxide levels and improve ventilation and airflow, which was related to better sleep quality for the healthy young adults in the study developed by Nuno Canha, researcher from C2TN.

This week, the IAQ Radio interviewed Nuno Canha, a researcher from C2TN/IST that recently published the paper “Indoor air quality during sleep under different ventilation patterns”. This is a very important topic but there has not been much research to discuss. Know more about the topic in this interview.  Interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlYmoUlY2Pk.
