Welcome to OPENTOX project website
Organic Pollutants in Environment - Markers and Biomarkers of Toxicity
The proposed project is based on Directive 2009/128/EC, the EU Thematic Strategy for Pesticides, and the Collegium Ramazzini Statement concerning control over pesticides and their impact on human health and the environment. The project will focus on studying two major pesticide classes with three subgroups per each: insecticides (organophosphates, neonicotinoids, and pyrethroids), herbicides (triazines, organophosphates, allelopathic), and persistent organochlorine pollutants under the Stockholm convention. The project has a total duration of 4 Years (September 2014 - August 2018)
