- Title
Cumulative risk assessment: A European perspective on the state of the art and the necessary next steps forward.
- Authors
Backhaus, Thomas; Faust, Michael; Kortenkamp, Andreas
- Abstract
The author reflects on the directives and regulations for chemical risk assessment, management, and mitigation in Europe which resulted in a decrease of the concentrations of many toxicants such as pesticides, biocides and pharmaceuticals. He discusses an analysis of combined effects of cumulative exposures to multiple stressors via all sources and exposure routes and has to consider sophisticated sublethal endpoints that inform on chronic toxicity.
