Our mission is the protection of foetuses and children from environmental dangers, which can threat their health, as well as the promotion of a healthy and safe environment with the minimal possible exposure in unhygienic environmental factors, so they can be ensured of their bodily, intellectual and mental growth and the conditions of a healthy future life.
