Course on chemical risk assessment, the Netherlands
5 June 2007 - 5 June 2007
Netherlands
A short course on chemical risk assessment under REACH, the new EU regulatory system for hazardous chemical substances, will take place in Utrecht, the Netherlands, from 5 to 8 June.
The backbone of the course will be the risk assessment chain from emission and distribution of chemicals to exposure of humans and ecosystems and finally, in the risk characterisation, to effects. Collection, evaluation and selection of exposure and effects data, including alternative data, will also be discussed, along with the regulatory background. Theoretical modules will be mixed with practical exercises.
The course is organised ECNIS, an EU-funded Network of Excellence on environmental cancer risk, nutrition and individual susceptibility.For more information, please click:
