ECETOC: European Centre for Ecotoxicology and Toxicology of Chemicals

Latest 📕 release: Advancing #exposure science for chemical safety and sustainability. Read the report stemming from the successful ECETOC workshop held in October 2023, which gathered over 100 experts from regulatory bodies, chemical companies, trade associations, and academia. The report's key #recommendations include: - Improved access to high-quality exposure #data - Enhanced exposure #models - Addressing new sustainability needs - #Capacitybuilding for exposure scientists #ChemicalSafety #Sustainability #ExposureScience #ECETOC #GreenDeal #ChemicalStrategy

🚨 New Publication Alert! 🚨 We are excited to announce the publication of an ECETOC study examining the challenges posed by #aquatic #testing of #particulate #materials. This research is crucial for assessing the safety of aquatic environments, particularly concerning #nanomaterials and #microplastics. The paper, published in Royal Society of Chemistry's Environmental Science: Nano, highlights the complexities of applying existing OECD test guidelines to particulate materials. It identifies technical challenges such as preparing stable dispersions and understanding transformation processes like dissolution, agglomeration, and sedimentation. The study offers recommendations to optimize aquatic testing and ensure more meaningful and relevant results. 🔬 Read the full paper at the link below to gain insights into the latest advancements in particulate material testing and its implications for environmental safety. #ECETOC #EnvironmentalSafety #Nanomaterials #Microplastics #AquaticTesting #Research #Science
