On research on the total consumption of foreign substances
Matís is a participant in an interesting European project (www.tds-exposure.eu) where methods will be developed to estimate the amount of unwanted contaminants people get from food.

Helga Gunnlaugsdóttir, director of Matís, is Matís' main contact in this project and she provides further information about the research.
