Istituto Superiore di Sanità

Il Reparto Ecosistemi e Salute del Dipartimento Ambiente e Salute dell’Istituto Superiore di Sanità (ISS) utilizza un approccio ecosistemico alla salute attuando una ricerca interdisciplinare volta a esplorare come i cambiamenti degli ecosistemi possono avere effetti negativi sulla salute umana e implementando soluzioni pratiche per affrontare queste minacce. Si occupa dello sviluppo di strumenti e metodi efficienti e rapidi (di tipo eco-tossicologico, ecologico, molecolare e microbiologico) utili nell’attuazione di misure preventive per la protezione della salute umana anche con finalità pre-normative nell’ambito di aree tematiche quali cambiamenti climatici, biodiversità, specie aliene, antibiotico-resistenza, miscele, forme teratogeniche, aree verdi-blu e benessere, destino ambientale, metagenomica, microplastiche, economia circolare e sostenibilità.

La UO11 partecipa al progetto contribuendo alle attività di formazione e diffusione dei risultati del progetto.
