My Pulmonary Research 'Using Biomarkers to Decode the Effects of Air Pollution'

The objectives of the ALERT study (Airborne Link to Respiratory Effects and Toxins)

For individuals with chronic respiratory conditions such as asthma and COPD, air quality is a key factor in their overall health and quality of life. The ALERT study (Airborne Link to Respiratory Effects and Toxins), led by the University of Antwerp in collaboration with the Antwerp University Hospital (UZA) and supported by the province of Antwerp, investigates how the effects of air pollution can be assessed in these conditions.
