| dc.description.abstract | The use of chemicals in a wide range of products, from fields of application as varied as biomedicine, agriculture, or food technology has brought undeniable benefi ts to society. However, it is of utmost importance to assess, control and minimize potential costs, in terms of long-term impacts on human health and the environment quality. Concerning both naturally produced (e.g., mycotoxins) and synthetic chemicals (e.g., pesticides, residues from food contact materials) that may contaminate food, there has been a world-wide eff ort to assess and manage potential risks and put in place regulation to ensure food safety. The European Partnership for the assessment of Risks from Chemicals (PARC) aims to advance chemicals risk assessment and management based on scientifi c evidence. Considering the relevance of food products as a source of human exposure to a wide range of contaminants, an overview of some approaches planned under PARC to understand the societal concerns on food contaminants through surveys, investigate the real exposure of citizens using human biomonitoring, as well as their adverse eff ects through toxicological studies using classical and more advanced in silico, in vitro, in vivo models, will be briefl y presented. The joint eff ort of PARC and the networking with other external research initiatives is expected to expand the knowledge on food contaminants and reduce human exposure with the ultimate goal of protecting public health. | pt_PT |
