## Abstract Handling uncertainty in the current European Union (EU) risk assessment of new and existing substances is problematic for several reasons. The known or quantifiable sources of uncertainty are mainly considered. Uncertainty is insufficiently, explicitly communicated to risk managers and

## Abstract The European REACH legislation accepts the use of nonβtesting methods, such as QSARs, to inform chemical risk assessment. In this paper, we aim to initiate a discussion on the characterization of predictive uncertainty from QSAR regressions. For the purpose of decision making, we discus
Silver (Ag) is discharged in wastewater effluents and is also a component in a proposed secondary water disinfectant. A steady-state model was developed to simulate bioaccumulation in aquatic biota and assess ecological and human health risks. Trophic levels included phytoplankton, invertebrates, br
Flame propagation velocities and temperatures have been measured in methyl nitrite, nitromethane and methane-nitrogen dioxide mixtures with oxygen. Mixtures of methyl nitrite or methane plus nitrogen dioxide with sufficient oxygen behave like more classical fuel-oxidant mixtures. Activation energie
The quantification of risk (the likelihood and extent of adverse effects) is a prerequisite in regulatory decision making for plant protection products and is the goal of the Xplicit project. In its present development stage, realism is increased in the exposure assessment (EA), first by using real-
