Impact and Risk Modeling (iMod)

Description

The Impact and Risk Modeling (iMod) laboratory aims to provide the scientific knowledge for assessing environmental risks and impacts of chemicals and consumer products, in order to:

(1) Assess and mitigate exposure to chemicals in products and their life cycle impacts;

(2) Mitigate the nutritional and environmental impacts of food products and systems;

(3) Model the exposome and multi-compartmental human and environmental exposure from the molecular to global level;

(4) Develop Life Cycle Impact and Comparative Risk Assessment methods focusing on human health.
