Whether they are addressed to the scientific community or to meet request from EC services, many of EI activities are scientific ones sensu stricto. These range from studies on tropospheric ozone and on aerosols, on watershed water quality and hydrology, on coastal-sea eutrophication, and on bio-emission of greenhouse gases from natural systems. In the field of life sciences, the EI co-ordinates international projects on endocrine disrupting chemicals; on reproductive toxicity; haematotoxicity; and ecotoxicology. Concerning the Air Quality the quality of indoor air and its role in human health. |
