ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how different types of indoor air pollution, like chemicals and biological substances, can affect the health and wellbeing of school-aged children, particularly those aged 8 to 9 years. Researchers will monitor the air quality in classrooms using advanced sensors and will also gather information about pollution from other sources, such as outdoor air and transportation. The health of the children will be tracked over time using special medical procedures and a fun app that helps them stay engaged.

To participate, children must be in primary school and meet some basic criteria, like having a parent or guardian who can provide consent and understand the study's purpose. Participants will be expected to use the app and follow the study's guidelines. This trial aims to provide important insights into how air quality impacts children's health, which could lead to better environmental policies and healthier school settings.
