CABARETox is a research project of the MRCA team carried out in collaboration with the OFB (Office Français de la Biodiversité) and the ANSES (Agence nationale de sécurité sanitaire de l'alimentation, de l'environnement et du travail).
This project follows on from the CABARET project, which highlighted the presence of numerous transformation products (TPs) of Phyto-Pharmaceutical Products (PPPs) in the aquatic ecosystems of the headwaters of basins at concentrations often higher than those of their parent molecules. Among these ecosystems exposed to PPPs and TPs, ponds are home to a large biodiversity (avifauna, ichthyofauna, batrachians, etc.) likely to be exposed to these contaminants.
CABARETox will aim to provide information on the toxicity of the PTs most commonly encountered and to assess the health status of aquatic organisms in ponds located in catchment areas selected on the basis of a PPP exposure gradient.
This project, under the scientific coordination of Damien Banas, is positioned at the heart of URAFPA's "water-contaminant" transversal action.
