Flame retardants were found throughout cruise ship interiors, with some areas showing much higher levels. A new RECETOX and NIVA study explores potential exposure risks for crew and passengers.

A decade-long study from the Czech National Atmospheric Observatory shows that banned pesticides persist in the air decades later, driven by soil re-emission and slow environmental degradation.

RECETOX researchers showed that some flame retardants in car interiors rise up to 700× in summer compared to winter, revealing strong temperature-driven exposure risks for drivers and passengers.

RECETOX study finds high flame retardant levels in Skoda car dust. As car use grows, interiors may become a key source of chemical exposure. Simple steps can help reduce your risk.

ATHLETE scientists urged EU policymakers to address chemical exposures harming children’s health and called for stronger regulation and investment in exposome research across Europe.

Ondřej Mikeš works at the RECETOX center as an environmental epidemiologist in the Human Exposure and Risk Assessment group, focusing on external exposures in epidemiological research.

The RECETOX center successfully completed a project funded by GAČR - Alternative Approaches in the Assessment of Male Reproductive Toxicity of Chemical Mixtures Without Animal Testing.
