The objective of the program: Investigating the carcinogenic potential of some chemical contaminants in the Bucharest-Ilfov area and establishing the correlations between them and the incidence of cancer.

Specific objectives:

Investigating the degree of contamination with carcinogenic contaminants in correlation with the incidence of cancers in the studied areas;

Investigation of the types of potential carcinogenic contaminants from the environment (water and soil) and those from the agricultural production;

Identification of the agro-food production transmission vectors of potentially carcinogenic contaminants in food; surveillance and monitoring of contaminants with potential carcinogen in some agri-food products;

Inventory of studies, reports, research on good practices to minimize the accumulation of potentially carcinogenic contaminants in agri-food products; developing good practice guides.
