Description

The strategic vision of the Water & Health Laboratory, part of the Cyprus International Institute for Environmental and Public Health (CII) is two-fold: to evaluate health risks associated with chronic exposures to environmental stressors (eg., chemical and physical) with particular focus on the application of novel targeted biomarkers and untargeted metabolomics platforms equally important, to test the effectiveness of non-pharmacological health interventions (e.g., organic diet, bio-based food packaging materials, alternative disinfectants and short stays in mountainous climatic conditions) in improving key metabolic health indicators.
