What will be your role?

Introduction
The Research group RAPID (Risk Analysis for Prevention, Innovation & Development) specialises in multidisciplinary projects on the assessment of health risks due to potentially hazardous exposures in the general population or workers. RAPID consists of around 50 members with various expertise all related to risk analysis, e.g. toxicology, epidemiology, exposome, chemistry, occupational hygiene, exposure assessment, modeling and statistics. RAPID develops innovative, science-based tools, models, and methods to estimate exposures, toxicity and potential health-risks accurately and efficiently. Ultimately, RAPID research focusses on preventing exposure, reducing risks and hence lower the burden of disease. This is done together with other TNO departments as well as universities, research institutes, government and industry partners.

As climate change intensifies, our society will increasingly encounter its effects on human health and wellbeing. Climate change impacts health via the environment we live and work in via a complex system. For instance, directly via heat/cold stress or altered chemical and biological exposures and indirectly via climate anxiety and food and income insecurity. Effective climate adaptation and mitigation approaches require methods to accurately predict their impact on human health and wellbeing.
