Concawe has updated the PetroRisk model used to calculate the environmental risk assessments (ERAs) for petroleum substances needed for REACH registration dossiers. The updates result in a model which is (1) faster, (2) more transparent, (3) better aligned with the...
Petroleum substances contain hundreds to thousands of constituents, making it very difficult to generate biodegradation data on all of those constituents individually. Concawe is undertaking a novel project with SINTEF—one of Europe’s largest independent research...
To improve the persistence assessment of petroleum substances, Concawe started a testing programme for several hydrocarbons. Ready biodegradability tests were proposed on six 3-ring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), in accordance with the OECD 301 F protocol....
As vertebrate animal studies form the basis for assessing certain human health and ecotoxicity hazards under the EU (European Union) REACH regulation, appropriate alternative approaches to fulfil information requirements must be considered in order to avoid...
Evaluation of pathways to decarbonise transport, simulations of the impact of our products on air quality, evaluation of the safety of our industrial and supply activities: the articles in this edition of the Concawe Review target our traditional area of interests...
