The Science-based targets project support the Science-Based Target Network (SSBTN) Freshwater Hub on methodological development for setting science-based targets for toxic chemicals, with initial focus on agricultural pesticides.
The project focuses on contributing to the development of a robust method for estimating the relative magnitude of exposures and related human effects of various endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and associated consumer products and applications.
The overall aim of TerraChem is to develop, demonstrate and apply a novel systems approach integrating monitoring, environmental modelling, data management, analytical tools and user guidance to better understand exposure of terrestrial biota across trophic levels in Europe to environmentally-relevant chemicals and their damage on terrestrial biodiversity and ecosystem services.
The objective of PollLCA is to develop and disseminate a framework and operational model for a pollinator module to be used in life cycle assessment (LCA) to enable comparing pesticide uses and screening pesticide-crop scenarios in life cycle impact assessment (LCIA).
PARC is an EU-wide research and innovation partnership programme to support EU and national chemical risk assessment and risk management bodies with new data, knowledge, methods, networks and skills to address current, emerging and novel chemical safety challenges.
The MINAGRIS project will assess the impact of plastic debris in agricultural soils on biodiversity, plant productivity and ecosystem services and their transport and degradation in the environment. We will provide tools and recommendations for sustainable use of plastic in agriculture at the farm and field levels for ensuring safe and economically viable food systems in Europe.
SPRINT will develop a Global Health Risk Assessment Toolbox to integrate assessments of the impacts of plant protection products (PPP) on ecosystem, plant, animal and human (EPAH) health. The goal of the project is to develop methods for an integrated risk assessment at the local, regional, national and European level.
The project on 'Crop Protection Environmental Impact Reduction' aims at developing consistent screening-level baselines for environmental impacts of plant protection products used in crop production as benchmarks to help measuring progress toward more sustainable agriculture.
PRORISK is a European Training Network funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie action. Vision of PRORISK is to provide a unique value by creating a novel platform for training a network of Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) in the field of advanced Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA).
Mistra SafeChem is a research programme for green and sustainable chemical industry. This programme is funded by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Environmental Research. The vision of the Mistra SafeChem programme is to enable and promote the expansion of a safe, sustainable and green chemical industry.
FNS-Cloud will overcome fragmentation problems by integrating existing FNS data, which is essential for high-end, pan-European FNS research, addressing FNS, diet, health, and consumer behaviours as well as on sustainable agriculture and the bio-economy.
The project's aim is to further expand the scientific consensus model USEtox to address near-field exposure for building products and plastic toys, drawing on expertise and data on Chemicals of Concern (CoC) and related alternatives from the scientific community as well as building material and toy sector supply chain information.
The objective of this project is to identify 20 case studies on how to prevent and minimize the use of selected toxic chemicals that are widely used in the Southern Mediterranean region, in support of the implementation of policies and pilot actions to prevent the use of toxic chemicals in Southern Mediterranean countries.
The overall objective of the REACH-4-USEtox project is to assess REACH registration data for use in the global scientific consensus model USEtox and apply USEtox to identify sensitive input parameters for characterizing the fate of chemical substances released to the environment and for characterizing related human and ecosystem exposures.
