Objectives
- To Study in detail the risk factors present in environment that can negatively affect Human health;
- Contribute for the knowledge underlying cause-effect relationships.
- Promote health and prevent disease in specific population groups;
- Study and understand individual factors that explain health effects caused by exposure to environmental risk factors
- Encourage multidisciplinary approaches during research development.
