We are pleased to announce that the project titled “PFAS from Tap to Table: Does Contaminated Water Increase Food Contamination During Cooking”, carried out at the Department of Chemical Research of Food and Feed of the National Veterinary Research Institute, has received funding within the OPUS 29 National Science Centre competition.

This constitutes a significant distinction and confirms the high standards of research conducted at our Institute.

Funding amount: PLN 1,562,920
