The JOIN project combines the health and indoor environment research areas to contribute in the development and validation of a new asthma diagnosis method through exhaled VOC analysis. This method is more sensitive, more specific, and completely non-invasive. Moreover, the JOIN project will assess the impact of exposure to the indoor environment, namely endocrine disruptors, on asthma and allergy development in children.
