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)

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.
Chronic fish case studies towards an IATA

Chronic fish case studies towards an IATA

Why?Hazard and safety assessments for the pelagic compartment often rely on in vivo studies using a single fish species, raising ethical concerns and uncertainty in terms of extrapolation....

ECETOC-VHP4Safety-ONTOX: Application of Digital Infrastructures Leveraging AI in Human Health Risk Assessment

ECETOC, VHP4Safety and ONTOX invite you to save the date for this upcoming interactive workshop, with experts from industry, academia, and regulatory bodies to explore the latest advancements in AI-driven health risk assessment. Through hands-on sessions, participants will have the opportunity to work directly with cutting-edge digital tools, assess their applicability, and discuss how these technologies can build trust and enhance decision-making in regulatory and research contexts.

The workshop aims to:

  • Explore how to build trust and confidence in AI tools used in toxicological risk assessment.
  • Define what level of transparency and clarity is needed to make AI decision-making understandable.
  • Discuss validation methods for AI tools for different uses.
  • Examine the interoperability of different digital infrastructures, such as the platforms OPRA and VHP4Safety, and their alignment with other ongoing initiatives.
  • Address ethical concerns related to using AI in health and safety assessments.
  • Collect multi-stakeholders' insights (regulators, scientists, and industry) on needs, expectations, and experiences.
  • Foster dialogue on how AI models can be made understandable, scientifically robust and practically useful.

This workshop will take place in Brussels in person only.
