Joint research by the European Detergents and Surfactants Industries

For more than 25 years, the European detergents and surfactants industries have carried out joint scientific research on surfactants and their impact on the environment and human health. Research projects cover the key phases of a surfactant’s value chain and focus on the environmental fate and effects of surfactants and the consequences of exposure on human health. This joint research platform, ERASM, is recognised as a center of excellence for innovative, independent scientific research. This website communicates the outcome of this research and makes the wealth of scientific knowledge developed by ERASM widely available. Learn more about ERASM
