Project R-7065
Title
Assessing spatio-temporal relationships between respiratory health and biodiversity using individual wearable technology (Research)
Abstract
We explore possible consequences of in utero and early life exposures to plant diversity, pollen and air pollution levels in the residential neighbourhood on the one hand, and incident wheezing on the other hand. Also the association between in utero exposure and placental methylation changes in a selected set of genes will be investigated. These analysis will give insight in the consequences that early life exposures to plant diversity, air pollution and pollen levels have on population vulnerabilities to allergy and allergic asthma prevalence.
