All about ULTRHAS

An overview of articles published in Open Access journals from researchers affiliated with ULTRHAS

Wednesday September 13th 2023, the European Parliament voted to strengthen regulation of air pollution and to new legally binding limit values for air quality fully aligning with the World Health Organization’s Air Quality Guidelines (AQGs). This is a strong signal to EU member states to act on air pollution, which remains Europe's largest environmental health risk.

The University of the Bundeswehr Munich (UniBW-M), a key partner in the ULTRHAS project, continued its proud tradition of engaging with the public through its renowned "Open Day" event.

In order to better assess the risks of air pollutants in the future, an international measurement campaign took place at the University of Rostock in November and December 2022.

10 months into the ULTRHAS project, it was finally possible to carry out a project meeting in person. Project participants and advisory board members met for a workshop in the premises of Helmholtz Zentrum München 22 June 2022.

ULTRHAS aims to determine the impact of Ultrafine Particles (UFPs) from different transport mode emissions on human exposure and health and clarify the importance of physicochemical characteristics and atmospheric processes.

To achieve the objectives of ULTRHAS we have on board a solid team of partner institutions, collaborators and personnel with leading expertise within their respective fields.

ULTRHAS – ULtrafine particles from TRansportation – Health Assessment of Sources, is a project funded under the EU’s Research and Innovation programme Horizon 2020, Grant Agreement No. 955390.
