Worldwide, serious concern has arisen about the increased incidence of learning and developmental disorders in children. From a scientific point of view, there is no doubt that exposure to neurotoxic chemicals during early brain development can adversely affect learning and development.
The European commission-funded project DENAMIC "Developmental Neurotoxicity Assessment of Mixtures in Children" investigates neurotoxic effects of low-concentration mixtures of pesticides and a number of common environmental pollutants in children. We focus on (subclinical) effects on learning (cognitive skills) and developmental disorders in children (e.g. ADHD, autism spectrum disorders and anxiety disorders). DENAMIC will develop tools and methods for screening of neurotoxic effects.
The developed methods and obtained results will give recommendations for risk management to the EU and WHO and will largely support the EU chemicals legislation for identifying (potential) neurotoxicants.
Project duration: 1st January 2012 to 31st December 2015
