Benoit Pouyatos

Laboratory Manager @ INRS France

About

I am in charge of a lab dedicated to the prevention of occupational risks related to the exposure to noise and toxicants on the central nervous system and the peripheral auditory/vestibular organs. My activities include exploratory research, assistance on the workplace and expertise for occupational physicians and regulatory agencies.
