Two reports on consumer exposure estimation published

Reports from two projects carried out by FoBiG on behalf of the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (Bundesinstitut für Risikobewertung (BfR)) were published recently. The first report describes a feasibility study and systemically analyses consumer uses with potential chemical exposures and differentiates several ‘core exposure scenarios’ (CES; see the report ‘Validierung von Expositionsmodellen zur Abschätzung der Verbraucherexposition – Machbarkeitsstudie’).  The second report analyses tier 1 tools used under REACH for consumer exposure estimation (ECETOC TRA, EGRET und REACT). The focus is on the plausibility of the algorithms and the quality of the underlying parameter values (see report ‘Prüfung von Standardmodellen zur Schätzung der Verbraucherexposition’. Both reports are available in German only.
