Understanding the process of setting air quality limit values and the associated compliance challenge
A Concawe modelling study examines how annual average PM and NO2 concentrations would vary under different emission reduction scenarios, and assesses the cost and practicability of achieving compliance with air quality limit values (AQLVs). The study highlights the...

Report no. 7/20: PetroTox is a modelling tool implementing the Target Lipid Model (TLM) for the calculation of the aquatic toxicity of complex hydrocarbon mixtures. The model allows for the calculation of acute and chronic toxicity values for several trophic levels,...
Is the Arrhenius-correction of biodegradation rates, as recommended through REACH guidance, fit for environmentally relevant conditions? An example from petroleum biodegradation in environmental systems
Biodegradation is a major determinant of chemical persistence in the environment and an important consideration for PBT and environmental risk assessments. It is influenced by several environmental factors including temperature and microbial community structure....
