A European project SysPAQ

Abstract

The European research project Innovative Sensor System for Measuring Perceived Air Quality and Brand Specific Odours (SysPAQ) is started under the VIth framework programme under the work programme "New and Emerging Science and Technology" (NEST PATHFINDER "Measuring the Impossible"). The Kick-off of the project was on the first of September 2006. Ten partners (3 Companies, 4 Universities, 3 research Institutes) from 5 countries are involved.The main goal of this project is to develop an innovative system to measure indoor air quality as it is perceived by humans to be used as an indicator and a control device for the indoor air quality. The system will also be able to detect brand specific odours and it will serve as a novel interior odour design tool for the vehicle industry.
