  Abstract:  The paper presents the sampling procedure of indoor dust for analyses of biological indoor contaminants in five schools in Alba county, Romania, included in the SINPHONIE (Schools Indoor Pollution and Health: Observatory Network in Europe) Project study. The SINPHONIE project is a complex research project covering the areas of health, environment, transport and climate change, aiming to improve air quality in schools and kindergartens. The sampling was performed during heating season, and consisted in three types of sampling procedures: sock sampling, EDC sampling and ALK sampling. The results of the sampling campaign and analyses will set the basis for a comprehensive risk assessment regarding the impact of indoor air quality in classrooms on children’s health and performance.

Key words: indoor air quality (IAQ), biological contaminants, children exposure, SINPHONIE project
