Air pollution is a global health crisis, with 99 % of the world’s population living in areas failing to meet international air quality guidelines. It results in 4.2 million premature deaths annually, with half a million occurring in Europe alone. Current air quality warning systems rely on location-specific pollutant thresholds, without the capacity to consider vulnerable populations.

In this context, the European Research Council-funded FORECAST-AIR project will integrate air quality forecasts, environmental epidemiology and vulnerability disparities. It will also offer a new method for issuing public health alerts. The project employs epidemiological models to convert air quality predictions into health forecasts, assesses predictability, and aims to create early warning systems that prioritise the well-being of vulnerable groups.
