Socioeconomic Determinants of the Chemical Exposome and Its Genotoxic Effects in Children
Sponsor: Institut Cancerologie de l'Ouest
Summary
PESTIFOL will include children over 8 and under 12 years old of different socioeconomic positions (SEP), mostly living in the region of Pays de la Loire. This approach should enable us to assess the impact of the SEP, and therefore social inequalities, on chemical expositions and DNA damage, and to characterize which (classes/mixture of) pollutants are major source of DNA damage. The study will also address potential effects associated with geographical location on the exposome and its biological consequences.
