The main activities of our group Food safety Environmental monitoring of persistent.organic pollutants (POPs) and pharmaceutical products in wild life Toxicology research Education International cooperation

Food safety The laboratory has for many years carried out screening of POPs in food for the Norwegian Food Safety Authority. This screening includes a variety of chemicals, such as POPs and pharmaceutical compounds. As an extencion of the food safety aspect, the levels of pollutants in humans (mothers milk) have been monitored in different regions of Norway

Environmental monitoring Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and pharmaceutical products in wild life Monitoring of possible effects of pollutants in wild life species. Examples of effects are direct observation of animal health and biomarkers.

Toxicology research Environmental monitoring and effects in wild life is also research (and published in respected journals). In vivo animal model studies are carried out by the laboratorys research group. The zebrafish model is frequently used. In vitro research on human and animal cells is carried out by the group.

Education The laboratory has a high production of master students and PhD students. This includes students at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences and students from other universities.

International cooperation A number of institutions outside Norway are cooperating in research projects. As an example, the laboratorys cooperation with countries in Africa has resulted in numerous PhD thesis
