A2.2-UNJM: Determination of the Optimal Physico-Chemical Parameters to Use in a QSAR Approach to Predict Skin Permeation Rate

Many toxic chemicals can enter the body via the skin. Measuring a chemical's ability to cross the skin is difficult, time-consuming and costly. One solution is to develop models relating skin permeability to chemical structure - known as a quantitative […]

ECO1A-INIA: Relationships Between Persistence, Bioaccumulation Potential and Effects in Waters, Sediments and Soils

Emissions of man-made chemicals can potentially have an adverse impact on the ecological balance in marine and terrestrial environments. Risk assessments have historically considered the potential for bioaccumulation (transference form the environmental compartment to the organisms) but not the potential […]

ECO3A-UTO: Evaluating Multi-Media Fate and Transport models on a Regional and Global Scale

Computer models are increasingly used to simulate the behaviour of chemicals in the environment. Based on data on a chemical's properties, release rates and environmental characteristics, these programmes - known as multimedia fate and transport models (MFTM) predict concentrations in […]
