The studies and researches within the project Integrated Studies on the Behaviour of Persistent Pollutants and Risks Associated with
Their Presence in the Environment (PERSENVIR) could be associated with the thematic of the program Cooperation-Environment of FP7, whose fundamental
objective is related to the natural and manmade environment problematic and resources. Under this context, project proposes a coherent,
conceptual framework for integrated environmental risk assessment and management, generated by the presence of persistent pollutants that
will be able to compare, evaluate and develop a set of methods and indicators for use in the assessment procedure, based on scientific
concepts and methods. This is devoted to improve the knowledge and enlarge the database and that is already in force at national and
international levels, in order to obtain more integrated assessments of risks and impacts. This project will provide research and
information on some contaminants fate, transport and behaviour in the environment as well as the ways to evaluate the risks associated
with the impacts induced in the environment and will combine both analytical methods and multivariate modeling. The research aims also
to increase the understanding on the fate and effects of environmental persistent contaminants by performing experiments designed to
aid the development of quantitative relationships and models. Based on experimental or calculated data models will be developed for
characterizing and ranking various pollutants as an aid in risk assessment processes. As a result of the fact that the proposed research
within this project responds to the European Research Area priorities, its accomplishment will ensure the continuous performances
of the Romanian research in the fields of environmental engineering and risk assessment, health and security, that will be visible
at international level, considering that in these fields Romania has a research potential, being achieved results comparable to those from EU.
