Dear members and colleagues,As we move through the year, there is a good deal to share. This has been a busy period for ECETOC, with changes to our team, our governance, and the work ahead. Let me...
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.

Webinar: Advancing Best Practices in DART Dose Selection

Since 2019, the ECETOC Dose Selection Task Force has been advancing best practices in dose-setting for toxicity studies. In 2024, their latest recommendations on dose selection for developmental and reproductive toxicity (DART) studies were published (Lewis et al., 2024), building on earlier work (TR 138, Sewell et al., 2022). 

This webinar explored critical insights, including how the team integrated regulatory guidance, animal welfare considerations, and cutting-edge science and reflected on key dialogues since the publication, like the 2024 EUROTOX satellite event on DART dose selection, outlining next steps for progress in this vital field.
