Intelligent testing Bioaccumulation and Toxicity, Persistence

ECO2A-ASTRA: Understanding and Measurement of Persistence in the Marine and Terrestrial Compartments

The persistence of a chemical in the environment - how resistant it is to being broken down in nature - is hard to predict. Its tendency to build up in living organisms - to bioconcentrate or bioaccumulate - is similarly […]

Acceptance of technology Bioaccumulation and Toxicity, Persistence

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 […]

Intelligent testing Bioaccumulation and Toxicity, Persistence

MISTRA: A New Strategy for the Risk Management of Chemicals: MISTRA and Persistence

To evaluate the persistency of the selected model compounds in the environmental matrices air, water, soil and sediment. Reaction mechanisms and degradation pathways of the model compounds are studied. A theoretical approach will be made to arrive at the conceptual […]
