The proposed project is addressing the prevention of noncommunicable diseases by holistically monitoring air quality in domestic and commercial environments.Air pollution is a major environmental risk factor and contributor to chronic, noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), with the World Health Organisation (WHO) in 2019 estimating that seven of ten leading causes of deaths were NCDs. Air pollution is in the top five of all risk factors for the global burden of disease in terms of mortality and morbidity (disability-adjusted life years). The WHO estimated that air pollution had caused seven million deaths in 2018, 4.2 million of which were caused by ambient air pollution. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development has estimated global outdoor air pollution-related healthcare costs of US$21 billion in 2010, projecting this to rise to US$176 billion in 2060\. In the UK, DEFRA estimates the economic cost from the impacts of air pollution at £9-19 billion every year, i.e. double the estimated economic cost of obesity. \[1\]The proposed service - Nooku Health - will make use of existing research and artificial intelligence to provide a personalised and interoperable warning and information system to support users with the identification of adverse environmental trends in their living and working environments. Nooku Health is aimed at complementing Nooku's existing product offering through personalised, long-term indoor air-quality monitoring. This will overall contribute to Nooku's vision to offer a range of devices and services to improve healthy living through smart monitoring, interactive prevention and proactive treatment of adverse environmental conditions.\[1\] https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/abfba0\#fnref-erlabfba0bib2

空气污染是一个主要的环境风险因素，也是慢性非传染性疾病（NCDs）的诱因。世界卫生组织（WHO）在2019年估计，导致死亡的十大主要原因中有七个是NCDs。就死亡率和发病率（残疾调整生命年）而言，空气污染是造成全球疾病负担的所有风险因素中的前五名。世界卫生组织估计，2018年空气污染造成700万人死亡，其中420万人是由环境空气污染造成的。经济合作与发展组织估计，2010年全球与室外空气污染相关的医疗费用为210亿美元，预计到2060年将增至1，760亿美元。在英国，DEFRA估计每年空气污染的经济成本为90 - 190亿英镑，是肥胖经济成本的两倍。Nooku Health将利用现有的研究和人工智能，提供个性化和可互操作的警告和信息系统，以支持用户识别其生活和工作环境中的不利环境趋势。Nooku Health旨在通过个性化的长期室内空气质量监测来补充Nooku现有的产品。这将有助于实现Nooku的愿景，即提供一系列设备和服务，通过智能监控、交互式预防和积极主动地处理不利的环境条件来改善健康生活。[1\] https：//iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/abfba0\#fnref-erlabfba0bib2
