- Original description
The study will be based from a newly formed NHS service, the children's environmental health service. Participants will be children with a known chronic respiratory condition. Participants will undergo personal environmental exposure monitoring as well as home environmental assessments, before personalised exposure reports will be provided including a summary of their exposure and advising mitigation strategies based on exposure patterns and behaviours. The monitoring will be repeated after introduction of mitigation strategies. This will allow a comparison of the effectiveness of each method of mitigation.Read full original descriptionShow less
