About

The team of the Department of Chemical, Dust and Biological Hazards from CIOP-PIB has extensive experience in research focused on reducing occupational risks and adverse health effects in the work environment. We have been conducting studies of chemical and particulate air pollutants for many years, as well as in vitro toxicological studies. We could also study air pollution by nano-objects and their agglomerates and aggregates.

Research work currently in progress concerns the study of elemental carbon as a marker of exhaust gases emitted from diesel engines; development of methods for the determination of chemical substances, including carcinogenic, mutagenic and endocrine active substances in the workplace air and chemical and particles' emissions during 3D printing and occupational risk assessment.

We are keen to join project consortia in the area of research and measurement of indoor and outdoor air pollutants that could potentially cause carcinogenic, mutagenic or reprotoxic effects on human health.
