PUREPOLIS is set to transform urban health by pioneering advanced tools that empower policymakers to take high-impact action. The general objective of PUREPOLIS is to address urban pollution and its associated health impacts more effectively, focusing on co-developing innovative methods and tools that enable policymakers to prioritise actions efficiently.
The Biodegradable Polymer Impacts project aids the evaluation of marine ecotoxicity impacts associated with using a biodegradable shell for an oceanographic measurement buoy based on the UNEP/SETAC toxicity characterization model USEtox.
The project focuses on contributing to the development of a robust method for estimating the relative magnitude of exposures and related human effects of various endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and associated consumer products and applications.
The MINAGRIS project will assess the impact of plastic debris in agricultural soils on biodiversity, plant productivity and ecosystem services and their transport and degradation in the environment. We will provide tools and recommendations for sustainable use of plastic in agriculture at the farm and field levels for ensuring safe and economically viable food systems in Europe.
The project's aim is to further expand the scientific consensus model USEtox to address near-field exposure for building products and plastic toys, drawing on expertise and data on Chemicals of Concern (CoC) and related alternatives from the scientific community as well as building material and toy sector supply chain information.
The objective of this project is to identify 20 case studies on how to prevent and minimize the use of selected toxic chemicals that are widely used in the Southern Mediterranean region, in support of the implementation of policies and pilot actions to prevent the use of toxic chemicals in Southern Mediterranean countries.
