Together, the two institutes possess impressive international expertise in the fields of toxicology and eco-toxicology. In Denmark, this merger creates by far the strongest interdisciplinary knowledge base for chemical substances and their effects on humans, animals and the environment. The new institute has in-depth knowledge of the European Union's new, proposed chemicals legislation REACH.
The new institute is already an imposing actor in the global knowledge arena; it has its own sizeable R&D activities with almost 600 highly trained scientists and technicians, 200 of these positioned in the institute's foreign offices.
