In recent years, is increased the interest of risk assessment associated to the presence of genotoxic substances in the environment (substances that interact with the DNA of living organisms, causes the loss of structural and functional integrity of DNA). In addition the increase of concentration of genotoxic substances in the environment has caused a parallel increase of related diseases such as cancers, allergies and autoimmune syndromes. GENEO project has the objective of defining, developing and shaping methods and processes for the evaluation systems of the correlations between genotoxicity 'of soils and cancer in areas at risk to human health
