Research
The Interdepartmental Centre for Studies on Asbestos and Other Toxic Particulates promotes multidisciplinary research projects, conferences, workshops, schools and seminars about health and environmental issues raised by respirable toxic particulates.
The Centre studies asbestos and artificial fibres, nanoparticles, silica and quartz, metal dusts, urban particulate matter and generally any other material which may affect the respirable tract when inhaled.
