| Description |
The assessment of risks to human health from chemicals is of major concern for politics and industry and ultimately benefits all citizens. In this process, exposure assessment is generally considered to be the weakest point, as currently available tools show major flaws. To overcome the drawbacks, the FP6 project 2-FUN produced prototype software containing a library of models for exposure assessment, coupling environmental multimedia and pharmacokinetic models. The 4FUN-project will now demonstrate, innovate and exploit this prototype software, to standardise it, to transfer it to stakeholders and guarantee its long term technical and economic viability. |
