Ineris has just published the results of its research on endocrine disruptors affecting metabolism in the journal Environment International. This research was carried out as part of the European OBERON project, which aims to study the impact of pollutants on metabolic disorders in humans (diabetes, obesity), the incidence of which is increasing significantly in industrialised countries.

The results of an unprecedented study conducted at 43 European measurement sites and published on 22 October 2025 in Nature reveal that the ability of airborne particulate matter to cause oxidative stress in the lungs varies depending on the type of environment (urban, rural, industrial, etc.) and the sources of emissions.

From June 16 to 20, 2025, the Institute took part in the annual European scientific symposium on rock mechanics in Trondheim, Norway.

After 8 days' training on full-scale industrial teaching facilities in Martigues, 4 new Spanish trainers were certified last April by Ineris Formation.
