Download or read book European Partnership on the Assessment of Risks from Chemicals PARC Focus on New Approach Methodologies NAMs in Risk Assessment written by Terje Svingen and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-08-21 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Partnership on the Assessment of Risks from Chemicals (PARC) project was launched in 2022. The overarching aim of this partnership is to enhance our knowledge about chemical substances to better safeguard human health and the environment against harmful effects. The project will run for seven years under Horizon Europe. PARC is subdivided into several work packages (WPs). WP5 is focused on hazard assessment for human and environmental health and includes more than 80 partners across Europe. WP5 aims to fill data gaps for specified chemical substances of concern (e.g, bisphenol alternatives) and to develop or improve new approach methodologies (NAMs) for chemical hazard assessment. This is in order to progress towards a risk assessment paradigm relying less on animal toxicity data, both with respect to human health and environmental safety. As the PARC initiative will evolve over time with respect to both projects and activities, presenting early initiatives will foster an increased awareness of ongoing activities and potential incorporation of new activities going forward.

Download or read book Challenges in Endocrine Disruptor Toxicology and Risk Assessment written by Alberto Mantovani and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2020-12-08 with total page 539 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Insight into the role of hormones, particularly estrogen and testosterone, in health and disease etiology – including interactions with other hormone pathways – has dramatically changed. Estrogen and androgen receptors, with their polymorphisms, are key molecules in all tissues and are involved in a number of homeostatic mechanisms but also pathological processes including carcinogenesis and the development of metabolic and neurological disorders such as diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease. Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) can interfere with the endocrine (hormone) systems at certain dosages and play a key role in the pathology of disease. Most known EDCs are manmade and are therefore an increasing concern given the number commonly found in household products and the environment. This book will cover the mechanisms of EDC pathology across the spectrum of disease, as well as risk assessment and government and legal regulation to provide a holistic view of the current issues and cutting-edge research in the topic. With contributions from global leaders in the field, this book will be an ideal reference for toxicologists, endocrinologists and researchers interested in developmental biology, regulatory toxicology and the interface between environment and human health.

Download or read book Retinoids in Mammalian Reproduction with an Initial Scoping Effort to Identify Regulatory Methods written by Nilsson, Charlotte and published by Nordic Council of Ministers. This book was released on 2020-04-19 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Available online: https://pub.norden.org/temanord2020-507/ Abstract [en] This Nordic report builds on ideas brought forward in the OECD Detailed Review Paper (DRP) 178 on screening and testing methods and endpoints for evaluating endocrine disruptors. It was identified that the retinoid system is not presently included in any OECD test guideline, and that it is urgent to cover this knowledge gap. The present TemaNord report is a contribution to an upcoming OECD DRP on retinoids. An overview of retinoid biology in female and male reproduction is presented. The report identifies that, in general, there is a lack of studies investigating effects of chemicals on reproduction, while simultaneously examining effects on retinoid related parameters. This is a major data gap. However, selected in vitro and/or in silico retinoid-related endpoints, presented in this report, could possibly be part of a broader screening test battery aimed at reproductive toxicity.

Download or read book Road to regulation of endocrine disruptors and combination effects written by Karina Petersen and published by Nordic Council of Ministers. This book was released on 2014-05-06 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discussions regarding regulation of endocrine disruptors (EDs) and combination effects are ongoing in Europe. Among the central topics of discussion are establishment of criteria for identification of EDs, whether there is a threshold for endocrine disrupting effects and how EDs should be handled within relevant EU regulations. In addition, a roadmap for further EU work regarding combination effects has been presented, but more detailed discussions are needed regarding scientific issues and regulatory intervention. Possible Member State initiatives to provide input to these EU processes were discussed in a Nordic workshop held in Oslo in November 2013. This report describes the workshop presentations, initiatives and thoughts from each of the Nordic countries, the plenary discussions, and the main workshop outcomes.
