Mission Soil and Cancer: Living Labs for Carcinogenic Contamination
Funds two €12M projects using living labs to remediate carcinogenic soils and trace cancer risks through people, food, water and air.
Carcinogenic substances in soil — including PFAS, heavy metals and pesticides — can move through water, air and food and affect human health. This joint Mission Soil and Cancer topic funds living labs that connect remediation with evidence about cancer risk.
Each project establishes four to five living labs in at least three Member States or Associated Countries, focusing on hotspots and differen…
Establishing four to five research-and-innovation living labs across at least three eligible countries to remediate soils contaminated by carcinogenic substances and investigate pollutant pathways through the soil-water-air nexus and food chain to human cancer. Projects must baseline and monitor soil, biomonitor contaminants and health outcomes, use a multi-actor approach, identify lighthouses, engage SSH and provide FAIR data, FSTP and long-term sustainability.
