MODEL-EDC - Workshop

This workshop is funded as a Foresight Workshop by Euromarine with the following aims:

1. Map current assays and models of risk assessment and monitoring for Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs, that interfere with the endocrine systems), in vertebrate and invertebrate marine organisms

2. Discuss how predictive and representative current models are (mostly freshwater species) for the marine organisms, considering their great taxa diversity, their interconnection and possible biomagnification of EDC/toxicant effects across the food chain.

3. Assess the gaps in knowledge while taking into consideration exposure to single chemicals or complex mixes from a biological and chemical perspective
