Projects Environmental Epidemiology

Research at IRAS has a wide range of subjects. Most of the research is part of the RATIA program (see main page on Research). For all projects a short description is available.

The 'Division Environmental Epidemiology' in cooparation with the 'Division Toxicology'.

• Risk assesment of persistent pollutants in human sera with special reference to fertility (CLEAR)
