SYBERAC: "Towards a SYstems-Based, holistic Environmental Risk Assessment of Chemicals"
https://www.syberac.eu/
#EnvironmentalRiskAssessment #Pesticides

Funded by the EU | Grant Agreement No. 101135213

Any posts reflect only the project's views.
Ready and… smile! Today and tomorrow, the SYBERAC team meets to discuss case studies, the current ERA application on PPP, & the ongoing ERA development in PARC and other projects. We'll also explore a "systems first" approach for the future of ERA and how modelling supports this within our project.

Happy #WorldWetlandsDay! 💧Wetlands act as sinks where chemical mixtures accumulate, affecting everything from aquatic life to the birds & bats that feed above the water. 🦇🦢
