Modernizing Hazard Indicators
A science-society dialogue for modernizing chemical hazard assessment
A collaboration of various Helmholtz Centers is currently working on Modernizing Hazard Indicators (ModHaz). The ModHaz project team, led by Prof. Dr. Beate Escher, has developed a new concept for the assessment of chemicals that aims to increase both the throughput of the chemicals to be assessed and to evaluate them comparatively. Additionally, we aim to initiate a paradigm shift towards animal-free testing in assessments.
After conducting four online workshops with stakeholder from civil society, regulation, industry and research, a synthesis workshop will take place in Berlin, bringing together all four stakeholder groups. The aim is to identify alternative pathways for hazard assessment and PBT assessment in EU chemicals policy, to discuss them with four stakeholder groups and to draw up a policy brief on this basis.
