Pesticides are chemicals used to increase agricultural productivity and to control household insects, fungus and weeds. As they are essentially toxic to living things and are used openly in the environment, it is necessary to monitor and prevent the detrimental effects on human and environment.

Our institute aims to search for measures to monitor and prevent the adverse effects on human.
