Research on how the environment impacts health
Water, air and ground pollution, together with dilapidated housing and dangerous working conditions, can lead to a range of conditions, including cancer as well as reproduction and developmental disorders. Fondation de France has been supporting research on the way in which the environment impacts human health, for more than a decade already. This issue affects us all.
Research, information and prevention
The consequences of environmental changes on human health are increasingly clear. They can translate into a greater number of sometimes major disorders. In order to detect and prevent existing risks and to limit their consequences, Fondation de France supports research teams who study the impact of environmental factors on health.
There are four objectives in this program:
- identifying and studying environmental risk factors that relate to work or lifestyle;
- understanding the social determinants of disease;
- broadening the debate and informing the public of environmental impact on health;
- improving risk prevention relating to environmental factors.
