EAP El Morell and TecnATox have started a new collaborative study, entitled “Assessment of the level of effect biomarkers and exposure to air pollution in blood and urine samples of residents depending on the distance to the petrochemical complex (PETROMARKER)” and led by Dr. José Luis Domingo. The main objective of the study is to assess the levels of several biomarkers of exposure and effect in biological blood and urine samples in two groups of residents depending on the distance to the petrochemical complex of Tarragona. In early March Nuria Gayà, whose PhD thesis is performed in the framework of this project, initiated the recruitment of participants and the collection of samples from 200 residents in El Morell.
