THE SCOPE OF ACTIVITIES

• conducting research on the impact of environmental, occupational factors and lifestyle on male and female fertility
• conducting research on the impact of environmental exposure to commonly used synthetic endocrine disrupting-chemicals
• developing recommendations regarding the impact of environmental, occupational factors and lifestyle on health
• identification of environmental, occupational and social factors influencing the health of men and women
• developing, organizing and conducting research in the field of environmental health hazards
  

The main research projects carried out in the Unit concern:

• assessment of exposure to environmental endocrine disrupting factors
• assessment of the exposure to environmental, occupational factors and lifestyle impact to health
  

International cooperation

• Participation in „Human Reproductive Health and General Environment NeTwork (HURGENT)” an international network in which cooperate with each other leading institutions dealing with the impact of environmental factors on fertility from: France, USA, Denmark, Great Britain, Spain, The Netherlands, Israel. In this network, experiences are exchanged, trainings and cooperation in writing international projects concerning exposure to environmental factors and their impact on fertility take place.
