Branch in Pszczyna – Toxicological and Ecotoxicological Research Centre
The Branch in Pszczyna conducts scientific research, development, and implementation works in the areas of toxicological and ecotoxicological studies, alongside with studies on fate and behaviour of substances in the environment physical-chemical properties in determining the degree of hazard coming from chemical substances, their mixtures, and biological substances to the warm-blooded organisms and the environment. The studies are conducted within the framework of national and European projects, and joint research projects implemented in cooperation with scientific institutions and industrial companies.
