Welcome to Talia Neal-Walthall

We are pleased to welcome Talia Neal-Walthall to ECETOC as a secondee. Talia joins us to work on topics related to exposure, an area central to much of our current scientific programme. She will be wi...
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.

Applying genomics in regulatory toxicology: a report of the ECETOC workshop on omics threshold on non‑adversity

In a nutshell

ECETOC gathered experts at a workshop to discuss how to overcome the final hurdles for using ‘omic technologies in chemical safety assessments, which have the potential to address the 3Rs of refinement, reduction, and replacement of animals used in research.

The workshop was the last in a series of scientific meetings looking back at what has been achieved in the ‘omics technical space, as well as forward to the use of ‘omics data to estimate toxicological points of departure that can be used in chemical assessments.
