Genetically modified microorganisms, their application and activities of European Union and Poland to ensure biosafety

Publisher:

Committee on Biotechnology PAS ; Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry PAS

Abstract:

Genetically modified microorganisms (GMM) are widely applied in research,medicine, pharmaceutical and food industries, as well as in agriculture and environment protection. The assessment of actual risk to human health and to environment related to GMM application is often difficult, because there isinsufficient experience in the application of GMM in areas other than research.That is why European Union, as well as Poland, have undertaken several activities serving to prevent any harm to human health and/or to environment, whichmight result from utilization of genetic engineering. These activities are performed on the level of legislation and on the level ofresearch programs, aimingat the establishment of effective methods of GMM containment and control.
