Document Control Page Short Description Air pollution is an important environmental health problem in many cities in Europe. In recent years interest has gathered on passive control systems, as well as behavioural and engagement interventions as ways to reduce air pollution exposure further along with bringing a range of co- benefits. This report details the exposure impact assessment and the socio-economic impact assessment of the iSCAPE interventions and in this way contributes to an increased understanding of the benefits of using these interventions to mitigate air pollution exposure. - 1 - D5.3 Report on interventions Review status Action Person Date Quality Check Coordination Team Internal Review Muhammad Adnan (UH) 09 July 2019 Distribution Public - 2 - D5.3 Report on interventions Revision history Version Date Modified by Comments V0.1 Thor-Bjørn Ottosen, Abhijith Kooloth Valappil, Arvind Tiwari, Prashant Kumar, Sullivan Briée, Francesco Pilla, Salem Gharbia, Silvana Di Sabatino, Beatrice Pulvirenti, Sara 02 July 2019 First draft for internal revision.
