EEM6-TECH: Develop a Concept for Externalising Databases From Arcview Which is Needed for GREAT-ER 2.0 to Allow a Full Pan-European Development
GREAT-ER II is a software development project. GREAT-ER means Geography-referenced Regional Exposure Assessment Tool for European Rivers and uses a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software for simulating substance distribution in river networks. The simulations output forms a basis on which […]

ECO3B-DELFT: Generic Estuary Modelling System to Evaluate Transport, Fate and Impact of Contaminants (GEMCO)
European estuarine and coastal waters may contain a range of organic and inorganic contaminants. Reliable methods are needed to assess how these behave in the three marine environmental compartments: offshore, estuarine and coastal zones. Transport and fate of contaminants in […]

ECO4-RIVO: MonitoringBase. Collation and Evaluation of Monitoring Programmes and Measured Environmental Concentration Data on Organic Chemicals in European Aquatic Environments
To facilitate retrieval of background concentrations and ranges of organic chemical concentrations in the marine and freshwater environment as input for various LRI models (e.g. multi-media, estuary models), ”MonitoringBase” was developed. This database includes information, references and links to more […]

IRTA2-002-UUIR: Heterogeneity in Response to Iso-Cyanate Exposure in the Work Environment
Di-isocyanates are in many countries a major cause of occupational asthma. However, few recent studies are available in which exposure to isocyanates has been measured and related to respiratory disease risk. Thus, information about exposure response relationships is extremely limited. […]

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 […]
