Report no. 15/20: Petroleum substances may contain polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that can interact with sunlight. These interactions can increase hazard, via photo-enhanced toxicity, and reduce exposure, due to photodegradation. These processes are not considered...
Report no. 9/20: This report provides further information on the value of spectral data generated from the Concawe Analytical Program, and provides scientific justification that spectral data provides no additional composition information to that obtained by the other...
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,...
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....
Report no. 10/19: Risk assessments on petroleum substances (PS) are challenging due to the fact that these complex materials contain thousands of individual chemical components having widely differing physico-chemical characteristics, environmental degradation rates,...
