HERA

The HERA team conducts multi- and inter-disciplinary research in environmental health, contributing to assess health risk of environmental exposures, mainly on chronic diseases. Its field of investigation covers air pollution both in the general and occupational environment. Its scientific strategy aims to investigate the health impact of air pollution using the key methodological approaches contributing to health risk assessment: epidemiology applied to general (PARIS birth cohort and asthma cohorts) and occupational population; toxicology, here an in vitro approach, to support epidemiological findings by studying biological plausibility; exposure science, for both exposure assessment and atmosphere metrology.
