European network on children's susceptibility and exposure to environmental genotoxicants

Objective

Prenatal, newborn and childhood exposures to genotoxicants pose a special risk due to differences between child and adult in susceptibility and exposures. Some information from European studies with maternal/foetal tissues and with children is available but need systematisation and validation for use in risk assessment. This concerted action will focus on essential topics in feasibility studies: Foetal exposures (placental transport), comparisons of child/adult exposures to urban air pollution, comparisons of metabolism, DNA-damage and DNA repair. Collecting, describing, evaluating and comparing available studies within Europe will also compare the geotaxis effects in children versus adults. Special work packages are devoted to risk assessment and ethical considerations. A survey on available bio banks forms basis for follow up studies in 6th framework program. The proposal comprises input from 13 different European countries.
