TL;DR: An overview of the achievements and current tasks, as well as a vision of the future to be addressed by ZEBET@BfR in the years to come is outlined in the present paper.

TL;DR: The health risks resulting from total consumer exposure towards aluminium and various aluminium compounds, including contributions from foodstuffs, food additives, food contact materials, and cosmetic products, are assessed.

TL;DR: Dietary exposure appears to be the most important exposure source and, based on the central aggregate exposure estimates, contributes around 90% to internal exposure to total BPA and dermal sources may be of equal or even higher toxicological relevance than dietary sources.

TL;DR: This document summarizes key aspects of this debate in the light of the European “regulatory status quo”, while elucidating new perspectives for regulatory toxicity testing.

TL;DR: The data are intended to demonstrate the use of the 3D Skin Comet assay as a new in vitro tool for following up on positive findings from the standard in vitro genotoxicity test battery for dermally applied chemicals, ultimately helping to drive the regulatory acceptance of the assay.
