Statement on advancing the assessment of chemical mixtures and their risks for human health and the environment.

TL;DR: It is argued that a European strategy needs to be set, through stakeholder engagement, for the governance of combined exposure to multiple chemicals and mixtures, as well as research to address regulatory and policy needs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulatory assessment and risk management of chemical mixtures: challenges and ways forward.

TL;DR: Considering the large number of possible combinations of chemicals in mixtures, prioritization is needed, so that actions first address mixtures of highest concern and chemicals that drive the mixture risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Proposing new approaches for the risk characterisation of single chemicals and chemical mixtures: The source related Hazard Quotient (HQS) and Hazard Index (HIS) and the adversity specific Hazard Index (HIA).

TL;DR: An analysis based on the individual critical effects is presented, in order to derive the critical effect and an adversity specific Hazard Index (HIA) and risk characterisation for the whole mixture.
Journal ArticleDOI

Overview on legislation and scientific approaches for risk assessment of combined exposure to multiple chemicals: the potential EuroMix contribution.

TL;DR: The Horizon 2020 project “EuroMix” aims to contribute to the further development of internationally harmonized approaches for such risk assessments by the development of an integrated test strategy using in vitro and in silico tests verified for chemical mixtures based on more appropriate data on potential combined effects.

Organic chemicals jeopardize the health of freshwater ecosystems on the continental scale

TL;DR: It is provided strong evidence that chemicals threaten the ecological integrity and consequently the biodiversity of almost half of the water bodies on a continental scale, based on the analysis of governmental monitoring data from 4,000 European sites.

Nontarget Screening with High Resolution Mass Spectrometry in the Environment: Ready to Go?

TL;DR: Development of mass spectrometers with increasingly high resolution and novel couplings to both liquid and gas chromatography, combined with the integration of high performance computing, have significantly widened the authors' analytical window and have enabled increasingly sophisticated data processing strategies, indicating a bright future for NTS.

Complex mixture toxicity for single and multiple species: Proposed methodologies

TL;DR: Using comparable mixture toxicity strategies in combination with the concept of species-sensitivity distributions, a method to address and predict the risk for direct effects on the composition of species assemblages and biodiversity is developed.

Risk assessment of combined exposure to multiple chemicals: A WHO/IPCS framework.

TL;DR: A framework for the risk assessment of combined exposure to multiple chemicals based on and developed subsequent to the World Health Organization/International Programme on Chemical Safety Workshop on Aggregate/Cumulative Risk Assessment (Combined Exposures to Multiple Chemicals) held in 2007 is described.
