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 […]
The objective of this project is to define alerts from (sub)structures of environmental chemicals to predict the formation of non-extractable residues (NER) and their metabolites in soils and sediments. The intention is to provide a computerized tool to predict whether […]
In order to fully test the NER for its potential ecotoxicity, an evaluation of extracted residues will also be performed. Currently there are no standard methods, except for isolation and testing of each transformation product. An approach that tests the […]
The objectives of these project are: - to gain a quantitative understanding of how chemical and environmental characteristics interact to control long-term time trends of POP/PBT-like substances in various environmental compartments. - to test the ability of current dynamic multimedia models to […]
Objectives Overview Identify the key properties and parameters impacting bioconcentration factor (BCF) measurements in the laboratory and those impacting field bioaccumulation factor (BAF) assessments. Select a test set of chemicals which include high production volume (HPV) substances in the […]
When aquatic organisms are exposed to chemicals in the environment, some of these chemicals maybe universally metabolised, whilst others are either metabolised by specific species/taxa or are non-metabolisable and therefore may bioaccumulate. The objective of this work was to develop […]
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 […]
The environmental risk posed by any new chemical produced or used in substantial quantities in the EU had to be assessed. This process involved estimating the concentration of the substance that could be present in water without harming aquatic life. […]
