Ecotoxicity Research Section
The Ecotoxicity Research Section is developing ecotoxicity test methods and models to assess the ecological impact of individual chemicals and mixtures by using techniques from molecular (e.g., genes and proteins) to organism levels (e.g., lethality, growth, and reproduction).

Integrated Health Risk Research Section
Our research focuses on the development of methods for measuring the properties of atmospheric particulate matter of nanometer to micrometer sizes, such as microplastics and PM2.5, and the development of in vitro and in vivo systems to evaluate the impacts of atmospheric particulate matter on respiratory/cardiovascular organs on present and future generations.

Exposure Dynamics Research Section
The research in this section focuses on measuring and estimating lifetime exposures to environmental stressors that may cause adverse health effects in humans. These environmental stressors include chemical substances, the physical environment, and diet, as well as socio-economic status and the built environment.

Research Office for Environmental Risk Science
The Research Office for Environmental Risk Science provides domestic leadership for the promotion of regulatory science based on current scientific findings. The Office also aims to implement environmental risk sciences into environmental policies in Japan through the development and dissemination of aquatic and avian ecotoxicological tests and the use of environmental risk assessments.
