Environment, Mobility, Health: air quality and its impact on your health linked to daily travel

The conference will present the work undertaken by the students during the year, but also to provide information on air quality, a subject that is still relatively unfamiliar for the general public, and its impact on health and our daily travel.

Mint

Mint is an application proposed by 13 students of the Environment, Mobility, Health project-based specialisation, working alongside 6 partners. This application aims to propose itineraries according to an unconventional criteria: the pollution inhaled during the journey.
