Environment and health

The best scientific evidence now indicates that chemicals in our air, water, soil, food, homes, schools and work places can be important causative factors in many human diseases and health conditions. The European Union is concerned about this problem and is supporting research aimed at better understanding the risks. The EU’s seventh framework programme supports research and innovation based solutions at transnational and international level
