Respiratory Viruses in the Air of Shared Indoor Environments: Multi-Country Molecular Surveillance Across Europe (TwinAIR)

Indoor environments are the dominant setting for human exposure to respiratory viruses, yet routine molecular surveillance of indoor air remains rare outside single-site studies. Within the Horizon Europe TwinAIR project, a single harmonised workflow was applied to 102 indoor air...

Chemical characterization and source apportionment of PM 10 in Belgrade, Serbia: influence of local and regional anthropogenic and natural sources

Abstract. Substantial efforts and improvements in air quality across Europe lowered levels of air pollutants including particulate matter (PM) in the last decades. However, significant proportion of the European population still lives in areas exceeding WHO recommendations, espec...

Quantifying the Spatio-Ecological Context of Urban Nature-Based Solutions Across European Cities

Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) are increasingly implemented to address urban environmental challenges, yet the surrounding spatial context in which they are embedded may influence the conditions supporting their ecological functioning. This study applied an integrated remote sensin...

Voice metrics and workload in helicopter rescue: insights from ninety-six cockpit recordings

The relationship between subjective workload and task performance is multifaceted. In aviation research, task performance is typically evaluated using multiple variables. Voice metrics can provide valuable insights regarding operational improvements and offer objective assessment...

Nanoplastic detection and quantification in high-altitude glacial snow samples from Italy, Switzerland and France

Abstract Plastic pollution is an ever-growing concern around the globe, with current research portraying the presence of contaminants even in previously pristine regions. Especially small particles, micro- and nanoplastics, can be dispersed over long stretches by atmospheric tran...
