(author)Objectives: Within the chemical legislation, REACH was implemented in order to improve safe working conditions with hazardous substances. Literature and real-life experiences by those concerned have shown that there are still gaps with a need for improved risk communication. This study elaborated on how information provided by REACH is...article 2023

Otten, W. (author), Marquart, H. (author), Preuhs, K. (author), Willemsen, J. (author), Boumann, H. (author), Gerritsen, R. (author), Fransman, W. (author)Presently, there is a lack of knowledge on the effectiveness of the information exchange on safe use conditions up and down the supply chain. The aim of the present research project CEFIC LRI B23 was to provide a substantial contribution to the knowledge needed to optimize information exchange on safe use conditions, specifically under REACH....report 2022

Franken, R. (author), Shandilya, N. (author), Marquart, H. (author), McNally, K. (author), Fransman, W. (author)Measured data are generally preferred to modelled estimates of exposure. Grouping and read-across is already widely used and accepted approach in toxicology, but an appropriate approach and guidance on how to use existing exposure measurement data on one substance and work situation for another substance and/or work situation is currently not...article 2020

(author)This article describes the development of a mechanistic model for underpinning the dermal Advanced REACH Tool (dART), an extension of the existing ART model and its software platform. It was developed for hand exposure to low volatile liquids (vapour pressure ≤ 10 Pa at 20°C) including solids-in-liquid products. The model is based on an existing...article 2019

Marquart, H. (author), Franken, R. (author), Goede, H. (author), Fransman, W. (author), Schinkel, J. (author)The ECETOC TRA model (presently version 3.1) is often used to estimate worker inhalation and dermal exposure in regulatory risk assessment. The dermal model in ECETOC TRA has not yet been validated by comparison with independent measured exposure levels. This was the goal of the present study. Measured exposure levels and relevant contextual...article 2017

(author), Hansen, B. (author), de Brouwere, K. (author)The aim of this work was to identify the key mechanisms governing transport of organic chemical substances from consumer articles to cotton wipes. The results were used to establish a mechanistic model to improve assessment of dermal contact exposure. Four types of PVC flooring, 10 types of textiles and one type of inkjet printed paper were used...article 2016

(author), Kroese, D.E. (author)Risk assessment of chemicals usually implies data evaluation of in vivo tests in rodents to conclude on 31 their hazards. The FP7 European project OSIRIS has developed integrated testing strategies (ITS) for rel- 32 evant toxicological endpoints to avoid unnecessary animal testing and thus to reduce time and costs. This 33 paper describes the...article 2013

(author), TNO Kwaliteit van Leven (author)There is a large variety of activities in workplaces that can lead to emission of substances. Coding systems based on determinants of emission have so far not been developed. In this paper, a system of Activity Classes and Activity Subclasses is proposed for categorizing activities involving chemical use. Activity Classes share their so-called ...article 2011

(author)Within the REACH framework, but alsowithin OECD, there is understanding that for reasons of animal welfare, costs and logistics, it is important to limit the number of tests to be conducted. Exposure-based waiving (EBW) is a potentially important element in testing strategies. This publication describes criteria for exposure- based waiving as...article 2011

Vink, S.R. (author), Mikkers, J. (author), Bouwman, T. (author), Marquart, H. (author), Kroese, E.D. (author), TNO Kwaliteit van Leven (author)REACH requests the exploration of alternative strategies for hazard identification before resorting to (in vivo) testing. Here, we combined read-across as non-testing strategy with a tiered exposure assessment for the risk characterisation of 1-methoxypropan-2-ol (PGME) as a representative for phase-in substances to be registered under REACH....article 2010

The Stoffenmanager is mentioned as a first tier approach in the REACH guidance. In an attempt to...article 2010
