Tools
Introduction
Besides ground breaking research, ECETOC has developed a range of tools:
- the Targeted Risk Assessment (TRA), which estimates exposures to workers, consumers and the environment that arise during a series of events. (This tool is now used in over 80% of all REACH registrations world-wide).
- HeatDB, a public directory of exposure data sources as well as available tools for exposure
- a new Scenario-based Species Sensitivity Distributions (SSD) tool, a software that facilitates the uptake of novel approaches to estimate aquatic threshold concentration (developed by a consortium of partners including ECETOC)
- NanoApp, a platform to to establish and justify sets of nanoforms and identify poorly soluble – low toxicity (PSLT) nanoforms (developed in collaboration with BASF and Leitat).
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
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)
The Targeted Risk Assessment (TRA) estimates exposures to workers, consumers and the environment that arise during a series of events.
