PCBs in the homes and exposure of residents in polluted housing in Brøndby Strand is a project led by the National Building Research Institute with the participation of the National Research Center for Occupational Health and the University. We have measured PCB in air, dust, surfaces, blood and wipes from hand washing and bracelets that absorb PCB. Data is under analysis and we find exposures that support that you cannot stay in these apartments.
The project is financed by the Landbyggefonden via the housing companies involved. 2017-2020.

Newborns and Genotoxic exposure risks - is an Integrated project conducted within the European Union's 6th Framework Programme, priority area Food Quality and Safety. Its objective is to investigate the role of prenatal and early-life exposure to genotoxic chemicals present in food and the environment in the development of childhood cancer and immune disorders.
NewGeneris conducts research in the development and application of biomarkers of dietary exposure to genotoxic and immunotoxic chemicals and of biomarkers of early effects, using mother-child birth cohorts and biobanks.

ReProTect is a European research collaboration with 35 partners. Its objective is to develop a novel approach in hazard and risk assessment of reproductive toxicity by combination and application of in vitro, tissue and sensor technologies.
