This paper aims in presenting the objectives and the scientific approach of the QAI-sport project, funded by ADEME (French Agency for Ecological Transition). The project proposes to characterize exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOCs), semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) and microbiological contaminants (molds, viruses and bacteria) by studying ten sports facilities for different activities (martial arts, weight-lifting, motricity in preschools). Initially, non-targeted analyses of these agents will be carried out under occupied and unoccupied conditions, with particular attention paid to emerging pollutants. An in-depth study, carried out on a selection of 3 rooms, will then allow to study the sources and distribution of contaminants (VOCs, SVOCs and micro-organisms) between the gaseous and particulate phases of the air, sedimented dust and the surfaces of materials. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the project will also include specific research into Sars-CoV-2. Exposure to biocides used against this virus will also be assessed. For SVOCs, the data obtained will be integrated into a model to predict the behavior of these pollutants in indoor environments. Finally, a study of the migration of VOCs and SVOCs in sweat and synthetic saliva will complete the results for a comprehensive and detailed assessment of exposure routes to these compounds.
