In order to tackle the scientific gaps, the research project has the following objectives: -The identification, selection and 14C-synthesis of water-soluble polymers that are representative for polymers applied in consumer and daily care products with different chemistries and biodegradation profiles […]
The overall aim of this project is to explore an experimental strategy for the assessment of the relevance of River Bank Filtration (RBF) for Persistence, Mobility, and Toxicity (PMT) substances. A laboratory test will be developed to provide reliable data […]
Persistent, mobile, and toxic (PMT) chemicals, including but not limited to plant protection products, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products, are perceived as an emerging threat to aquatic environments and drinking water quality [1]. Due to their high polarity and water […]
This project seeks to distinguish between four categories of chemicals that differ fundamentally in their LRT characteristics, and therefore require different, but complementary tools for LRTP assessment.
This project seeks to explore opportunities to improve weight-of-evidence approaches in persistence assessment by incorporating the latest scientific developments in bioavailability, complex substances and overall persistence.
Chemical regulations require information as to whether a chemical is bioaccumulative. Steady-state bioconcentration factors (BCFs) in fish reflect the net result of the various chemical uptake versus loss processes and can be determined directly.
GETREAL will provide this information on the variability in chemical sensitivity and explore its consequences for risk assessment.
Microplastics research has grown substantially over the past years due to concerns with the public, the scientific community and environmentalist groups. They are often detected in environmental compartments but the hazards and risks they pose are debated and largely unknown.
Plastic pollution has become a major environmental concern among the public and government agencies, and in recent years the presence of microplastics in aquatic and terrestrial systems worldwide has received increasing attention.
The general objective of this project is to build a toxicokinetic (TK) modelling framework for mammals and develop and integrate various data streams for mammalian B assessment. This research will expand the development, evaluation, and application of the CEFIC-LRI funded […]
