Resumo: Exposure and sensitization to indoor allergens are important risk factors for asthma and allergic respiratory diseases, playing a key role in triggering and exacerbating allergy and asthma symptoms in children (Salo et al., 2009). While children’s greatest exposure to indoor allergens is at home, other public places where they spend a large amount of time, such as primary schools, may also be sources of significant allergen encounters (Abramson et al. , 2006), such as bacteria and fungi. Children are considered a susceptible group because they are particularly vulnerable to the development of respiratory diseases, such as asthma, and also spend much of their time inside classrooms, in a confined atmosphere, reasons why they should deserve priority attention in indoor air quality (IAQ) studies. In Portugal, this is an increasing and important subject, proved by the development of studies in this area, more sorely since the publication of the national legislation, Ordinance no. 353-A/2013 of December 4th, that establish reference values of maximum concentration for selected indoor air pollutants. The results of this project are part of an ongoing project (ARIA Project), that intend to study the exposure of children to indoor air in 20 public primary schools and investigate the associated respiratory and allergic related health effects in 1600 children’s.
