HSSD Tool

HSSD Tool

This software was developed by a consortium of partners to facilitate the uptake of novel approaches to estimate aquatic threshold concentrations (e.g. the concentration at which 5% of the species are exposed above their EC50, HC5).
The Human Exposure Assessment Tools Database (heatDB)

The Human Exposure Assessment Tools Database (heatDB)

heatdb is a public directory of exposure data sources as well as available tools for exposure
NanoApp

NanoApp

ECETOC’s NanoApp is a tool designed to define the boundaries of sets of similar nanoforms and to generate a justification for the REACH registration.
