Vision

The strategic vision of the Water & Health Laboratory, part of the Cyprus International Institute for Environmental and Public Health (CII) is two-fold:

  • to evaluate health risks associated with chronic exposures to environmental stressors (eg., chemical and physical) with particular focus on the application of novel targeted biomarkers and untargeted metabolomics platforms

  • equally important, to test the effectiveness of non-pharmacological health interventions (e.g., organic diet, bio-based food packaging materials, alternative disinfectants and short stays in mountainous climatic conditions) in improving key metabolic health indicators.
