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.
Targeted Risk Assessment (TRA)

Targeted Risk Assessment (TRA)

The Targeted Risk Assessment (TRA) estimates exposures to workers, consumers and the environment that arise during a series of events.

3rd party event: Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (BAuA), Dortmund, Germany: The ETEAM Conference – Challenges and Perspectives of Tier 1 Exposure Assessment

When 25 – 26 Mar 2014
Where Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (BAuA) Haus I, Lecture Hall (Hörsaal) Friedrich-Henkel-Weg 1-25 D-44149 Dortmund, Germany (map)
Description
Generic exposure tools such as ECETOC TRA, MEASE, EMKG-EXPO-TOOL, STOFFENMANAGER and RISKOFDERM are currently widely used for chemical safety assessments under REACH. The German Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, (BAuA) has therefore initiated and sponsored a comprehensive Evaluation of the Tier 1 Exposure Assessment Models (ETEAM). Carried out by the Institute of Occupational Medicine (IOM Edinburgh) and the Fraunhofer Institute for Toxicology (ITEM Hannover) the ETEAM project was intended to compare and contrast the different REACH Tier 1 exposure assessment models in terms of their validity, scope of application, functionality and user-friendliness. The ETEAM conference will give a comprehensive overview of the study results and will provide guidance for model users, industry and regulators on the range of applicability of models across different exposure situations. Hence the ETEAM conference is aimed at all registrants, downstream users, consultants, authorities and researchers who are involved in the assessment of occupational exposure under the REACH regulation.
