Projects

In the last decades, we have participated in many research projects, both national and international, including H2020. Below we provide the list of selected projects.

AIRSENS

Monitoring kvality ovzduší v malých sídlech Jihomoravského kraje s lokálními topeništi pomocí senzorů je inovativní výzkumný projekt zabývající se problematikou znečištění ovzduší a s tím souvisejícími zdravotními a ekonomickými riziky.

Assessment of exposure to chemicals and their impact on human health

The work will be focused on new approaches for evaluating the influence of selected exposome factors on biomarkers of effect and possible health risks in the human population.

EXPANSE

The project aims to create a long-term sustainable toolbox and infrastructure to generate knowledge on the Urban Exposome and translate this knowledge into actionable information for citizens, the public sector, policymakers, and private sector companies.

PI at MUNI: Pavel Čupr

ERA Planet – SMURBS

SMURBS aspires to increase urban resilience by targeting challenges concerning air quality, urban growth, natural/manmade disasters, and more entangled issues such as the migrant crisis and the health implications of such environmental pressures.

PI: Pavel Čupr

NovelPol

The project aims to evaluate the risks resulting from human and environmental exposure to novel organic pollutants released from the recycling of modern organic residues in agriculture. Ultimately, it aims to develop ways to minimize the spreading of these pollutants.

PI: Pavel Čupr

INFERNO

The project focuses on the investigation of the effects of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances on reproductive health in the fire-fighting environment. Human exposure to PFASs is of great public health interest, because of their potential toxicity and cumulative behavior in the human body.

PI: Jana Navrátilová

OnFire

The project focuses on the investigation of human exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and its potential risk of thyroid cancer and related health outcomes.
