IS1408 - Industrially Contaminated Sites and Health Network (ICSHNet)

ibs.GRANADA · International Networks

In Europe, earlier industrialization and poor environmental management practices have left a legacy of thousands of contaminated sites. Past and current industrial activities can cause local and diffuse contamination, to such an extent that it might threaten human health of resident populations, especially in vulnerable subgroups.

COST Action IS1408 is focused on developing a common European framework for research and response on environmental health issues in industrially contaminated sites and establishing a European network of experts and institutions involved in assessing the health impacts and/or managing remediation and response.
