EPHOR policy brief on sensors

The policy brief can be found here.

The key message is:

Occupational exposure to hazardous substances is a significant cause of work-related illnesses and
deaths. According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), over 2.3 million people die each year
from work-related accidents or diseases. Inhalation hazards are responsible for nearly half of these.
Novel air quality sensors can play a crucial role in preventing these cases by providing real-time data
on hazardous substances such as particulate matter, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and gases
like carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide. However, more effort is needed for successful
implementation of these devices and subsequently better protection of workers worldwide
