European Partnership for the Assessment of Risks from Chemicals (PARC)
健康与公共事业
Chemicals are everywhere, P-A-R-C evaluates their risks
关于我们
PARC aims to develop next-generation chemical risk assessment to protect human health and the environment. It supports the European Union's Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability and the European Green Deal's “Zero pollution” ambition with new data, knowledge, methods and tools, expertise and networks. PARC takes the Human biomonitoring for Europe (HBM4EU) work forward by strengthening the scientific basis for chemical risk assessment and facilitating the EU’s transition to next generation evidence-based risk assessment. PARC involves close to 200 institutions working in the areas of the environment or public health from 28 countries and three EU authorities, including the European Chemical Agency (ECHA), the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the European Environment Agency (EEA). The partnership is coordinated by ANSES, the French Agency for Food Safety, Environmental Protection and Occupational Health. It is bringing into play public partners across the continent, including European and national risk assessment agencies, universities and public research organisations. Five Directorates-General of the European Commission (DG-RTD, DG-GROW, DG-ENV, DG-SANTE and JRC) and the relevant ministries of the countries involved are contributing to the governance of PARC. HBM4EU was a joint initiative from 28 participating countries – 24 EU member states plus Norway, Switzerland, Iceland and Israel and the European Environment Agency. The project had €74m in funding under Horizon 2020 and was jointly implemented by 120 partners from the different participating countries. Its aim was to measure Europeans’ exposure to chemicals and their health effects and develop human biomonitoring (HBM) as an exposure assessment method. This initiative directly contributed to the improvement of health and well-being for all citizens, by investigating how exposure to chemicals affects the health of different vulnerable groups, such as children, pregnant women and workers.

???Uncovering the Impact of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals Across Europe See how?Nikiforos Alygizakis?from?National & Kapodistrian University of Athens https://lnkd.in/drRbi9jc describes the initiation of a pan-European study to monitor?Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals?—chemicals that imitate naturally occuring substances and block specific pathways. ???What #PARC is doing: ???Conducting large-scale environmental sampling of?fish, soil, water, and air?to detect and analyze Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals. ???Investigating?7,500 compounds?with potential endocrine-disrupting properties, and utilizing?in silico methods?to predict risks for over?100,000 chemicals, narrowing our focus to the most relevant. ???Screening these substances in key environmental media to map their presence and risks. This research will deliver critical insights to uncover the chemical footprint of these substances in our environment. Our findings will inform #policymakers?to create impactful regulations and help the #public?make informed decisions about their health. #EndocrineDisruptors #EnvironmentalMonitoring #Toxicology #EnvironmentalProtection #ChemicalSafety #HealthAndEnvironment #EUScience #EnvironmentalHealth #ScienceForPolicy??#ChemicalAwareness

?? World Children's Day: Safeguarding the Well-Being of Future Generations ?? At PARC, it is our mission to create a safer environment and healthier world for our children. During the first two years of the partnership, hundreds of scientists have collaborated to explore critical topics concerning children's health. ?? Did you know? There are researchers at PARC working exclusively on the risks to children from their exposure to chemicals? Their results, published in scientific journals, tackle exposure issues from the prenatal stage to early-life and through the environment or the special diet including breast milk. Most focus on heavy metals of concern or everlasting chemicals that accumulate for a lifetime, providing key insights to safeguard children’s health and future well-being. ?? Explore these important contributions on the PARC website, under the Scientific publications section https://lnkd.in/dPWRxnBp, where you can find the full list of publications and ongoing efforts: ?? Together, we work towards reducing risks for our youngest and most vulnerable populations, shaping a brighter and safer tomorrow. #WorldChildrensDay #ChemicalSafety #FutureGenerations #SafeChildrenEnvironment

?? To address identified training needs within PARC, we are hosting a webinar on Principles for Effective Risk Communication, presented by Ana Rita Goes, an Assistant Professor at the Escola Nacional de Saúde Pública, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal, and an expert in health promotion and health communication. The webinar will delve into the purpose and principles of risk communication, focusing on a systematic approach while offering essential tools and tips for creating effective risk messages. ?? This is an excellent opportunity to improve your risk communication skills. ?? Read more and register here: https://lnkd.in/d3eiQ5cf #RiskCommunication #RiskAssessment

?? Spotlighting Occupational Health Issues ?? Tiina Santonen from Ty?terveyslaitos - Finnish Institute of Occupational Health elaborates on PARC addressing critical issues related to workers' safety and well-being. There are currently two ongoing multi-center projects focused on the exposure of workers to hazardous chemicals and the associated health risks: ?? Waste Management and Circular Economy: This project investigates the types of chemicals that workers are exposed to in waste management settings. We aim to identify potential health risks linked to these exposures, contributing to a safer work environment. ?? Healthcare Sector Exposure: Our second project focuses on the exposure of healthcare workers to hazardous medicines, including cytotoxic drugs and inhalation anesthetics. By understanding the health implications of these substances, we strive to support recent policy actions aimed at safeguarding workers from harmful chemical exposure, particularly those with reprotoxic or carcinogenic effects. #OccupationalHealth #WorkerSafety #HealthRisk #HazardousExposure #CircularEconomy #Healthcare
