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).
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....
Why?REACH restriction: SPM use restricted; emissions reporting required by May 2027.
Gap: No analytical methods available to measure SPM emissions.
Solution: Draft SPERC-based approac...
