Research subject Effects Assessment of Contaminants

FELIX investigates cats' exposure to PFAS substances and links to hormone-related diseases. Cats are beneficial models of human exposure to indoor chemicals. The results are therefore highly relevant for human health as well.

PARC aims to develop next-generation chemical risk assessment to protect human health and the environment. The research program will support decision-makers with new data, knowledge, methods and tools, expertise and networks.

This FORMAS project addresses conflicts and synergies between a circular economy and the protection of human and environmental health from hazardous chemicals.

ReproManDo address the decreased semen quality observed in both man and dog, which is one of the major health issues related to infertility. Reproductive impairment and associations to exposure to chemicals have been observed, and here complex mixtures will be investigated in controlled cell-based assays relevant for the spermatogenesis.
