The project consists of developing a portable, easy-to-handle detector of indicators of environmental biological contamination, capable of giving a result in less than an hour, based on a novel genetic diagnostic technique. Once developed, the prototype will significantly improve, in a preventive way, the biological safety of indoor air in office buildings, geriatric centres, kindergartens and in general indoor buildings at risk of suffering from so-called sick building syndrome.
