Föreläsningar och seminarier IMM Seminar: New version of the European Code Against Cancer
Professor Maria Albin, Institute of Environmental Medicine (IMM)
The updated European Code Against Cancer (5th revision) has recently been published and includes several new recommendations aimed at reducing cancer risks related to environmental and occupational factors.
For the first time, the advice is directed not only at individuals but also at policymakers – with a focus on structural measures to reduce exposure to carcinogens, particularly in workplaces.
The Code addresses several areas relevant to environmental medicine, such as air pollution (both outdoor and indoor), radon, UV radiation, and lifestyle factors. Professor Maria Albin from the Institute of Environmental Medicine has contributed to the expert group that developed recommendations concerning occupational health, air pollution, radon, and UV exposure.
