Solutions for present and future emerging pollutants in land and water resources management (SOLUTIONS)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2018,
"SOLUTIONS will deliver a conceptual framework for the evidence-based development of environmental and water policies. This will integrate innovative chemical and effect-based monitoring tools with a full set of exposure, effect and risk models and assessment options. Uniquely, SOLUTIONS taps (i) expertise of leading European scientists of major FP6/FP7 projects on chemicals in the water cycle, (i ...

"Health and Environmental Risks: Organisation, Integration and Cross-fertilisation of Scientific Knowledge" (HEROIC)
Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2014,
"Today, human risk assessment and environmental risk assessment are typically separated. Existing risk assessment (RA) experience and regulations are challenged by future RA needs.- There is a lack of mutual understanding between subject matter experts of individual disciplines.- Data from toxicological and ecotoxicological studies is not readily accessible by risk assessors across disciplines.- T ...

Nanoparticle Fate Assessment and Toxicity in the Environment (NanoFATE)
Start date: Apr 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2014,
Concept: NanoFATE has been conceived to fill knowledge and methodological gaps currently impeding sound assessment of environmental risks posed by engineered nanoparticles (ENPs). Our vision is to assess environmental fate and risk of ENPs from high-volume products for which recycling is not an option; namely; fuel additive, personal care and antibacterial products. Two market ENPs from each produ ...

Contaminant mixtures and human reproductive health - novel strategies for health impact and risk assessment of endocrine disrupters (CONTAMED)
Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2012,
"Disruption of hormonal signalling in fetal life can irreversibly affect human development and reproductive health at a later age. Of considerable concern in Europe is a decline in male semen quality and a high prevalence of congenital malformations and hormone-dependent cancers. Although it appears plausible that environmental chemicals with endocrine activity may be involved in the causation of ...
