The objectives of this part of the course are:
- To provide the knowledge necessary to carry out a quantitative risk assessment for the environment.
- To present the decision strategies used by European instances; awareness on the strenghts and weaknesses of these protocols will be emphasized by placing the students in the position of a ecotoxicological expert in charge of environmental risk assessment.
- Through discussions of real case studies, students will be provided with a wider view on sustainable development related to the chemical industry |
