All about PARC

Our focus lies in revolutionising toxicological assessment through the development of innovative New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) and advancing our understanding of environmental chemicals and their impact on human health.

The NIPH has established the Environmental Biobank where we collect blood and urine samples from people living in Norway.

An important task in PARC is to monitor the European population's exposure to unwanted substances.

At PARC, we are investigating the association between chemical concentrations measured in humans and their various health effects.

The Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH) is participating in a large EU research partnership to improve chemical risk assessment, called PARC.
