Aim
The main objective of the SCENARIOS project is to develop strategies and methods for the assessment, control and elimination of a group of chemicals, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are widely distributed as contaminants in drinking water, soil and groundwater. Methods of molecular systems biology, toxicogenomics, and in vitro screening will be combined to identify potential adverse health effects of PFAS.
3R Relevance
Development and application of non-animal test methods for specific detection of possible influences on liver function or endocrine system by PFAS.
