Projects

ECO65: Characterizing the uncertainty in MAF values for aquatic receptors estimated using the KEMI MAF

We propose a project to publish a paper that more fully explores the uncertainty and variation in MAF values for mixtures that occur in surface waters. The objectives of the second paper are to clearly describe the biases in the […]

ECO66: ENCORE – ENvironmental CO-exposure and Risk Estimation

The general objective of this project proposal is therefore to develop a probabilistic modelling framework that allows to identify the priority chemicals for co-exposure risk at the watershed level. The environmental fate model at the core of this probabilistic framework […]

B26: DERM – Dermal Exposure, a Review of current knowledge on the uptake of Micro-and nano-plastics

This research project aims to investigate the current understanding of the risk of dermal uptake of MNPs. Information on the impact of particle size, shape (spherical, needle, irregular, fibre), polymer composition, hydrophobicity, charge, surface chemistry and aging will be investigated […]

ANP1: Systematic literature review on analytical methods for the determination of PFAS

An extensive literature review to document the wide range of methods that are used for the determination of PFAS. The review will focus on the scientific literature and follow the PRISMA guidance, which is the preferred method for undertaking a […]

ECO64: POLY-DEG-SOLve – Applicability and improvements of OECD (bio)degradation testing for water-soluble polymers

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 […]

B24 – Modeling exposure and biodistribution of microplastic particles in the human body

Aim of this project is to develop a human exposure probabilistic modelling framework for microplastics, and to collect input data for scenario analyses and validation. The framework will be flexible so as to enable implementation of updates as key processes […]

ECO61: HERA-MP – Establishment of a Holistic Environmental Risk Assessment for MicroPlastics in the terrestrial environment using the study of environmentally relevant particles

The objective of this proposal is to apply a number of OECD/ISO standardized effect test systems on several different types of MPs (WP2), including environmentally relevant MP as well as on a subset of different types of MPs of specific […]

​​​ECO60: EMIFACT-MNP: EMIssion FACTors for Micro and NanoPlastics

The aim of this project is to develop a model that predicts environmental emissions factors (EF) for the full size range of plastic emissions (macro-, micro- and nanoplastics), spanning the full range of professional, consumer and industrial scenarios, covering their […]

ECO59 : FRAGMENT-MNP: Developing a mechanistic model of Micro and NanoPlastic FRAGMentation in the ENvironmenT

The overarching objective of this project is to develop and deliver a pragmatic open-source mechanistic model of how environmental factors affect plastic fragmentation and degradation rates. The model will be applicable across a range of conditions in multiple environmental compartments. […]
