Dr. Alena Bartonova’s core research area is environmental exposure assessment. Her work rests on high levels of interdisciplinary collaboration and often supports science use for policies. She is interested in environmental/air quality assessment methods combining results from monitoring and diverse measurement technologies (including low-cost sensors) with models, resulting in a basis for health impact assessment, and in development of methods for practical use.
Alena has a MSc and a RNDr degree in Probability and Mathematical Statistics from the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University, Prague, CZ, and PhD in Environmental Sciences from the Faculty of Science of the same University. She started at NILU as a post doc 1987-1990, when she was studying environmental epidemiology methods and the relationship between air pollution and material damage.
Alena has served in several positions of trust nationally and internationally, including as in expert groups within the fifth and seventh Framework Programs for research of the EU, and as a member of SCHER 2013-2016. She has coordinated or co-coordinated several EU-co-funded research and innovation projects. Alena serves as Research Director – coordinator for EU research and Manager, European Topic Center for human health and environment.
Alena Bartonova has 333 publications at NILU:

Transformative interaction between digital technologies and people for a sustainable indoor climate in schools (DIGG-MIN-SKOLE)
A good indoor environment at school is important for the health and well-being of pupils and staff, and has a significant impact on pupils' learning outcomes. Good maintenance of buildings […]
Deployment and testing of lower-cost ambient air quality sensor systems in urban environment (sensEURcity )
The ‘sensEURcity’ project was launched because measurements from cheaper (low cost) air quality sensors are still too unreliable and data quality is insufficiently known. With this project, the Directorate-General of the European Joint Research Centre (DG JRC), with funding from the Directorate-General for Environment, aims to help evaluate the performance and potential of low-cost sensor systems for air quality and make comparisons with conventional measurement methods.
