Clinical Environmental Medicine

The health impact of chemicals in the environment is constantly increasing. There is a significant associated rise in neurological, autoimmune and cancer diseases. Male fertility decreases dramatically. However, when patients visit the doctor, hardly any examinations are carried out for possible chemical exposures.

Research

We bring researchers and practitioners in the fields of metal biology, medicine and medical geology together to showcase the recent developments and address global challenges we face today within the field of metal toxicity.

Prevention of Toxic Burdens
