Identifying the research needs for the global assessment of
hazardous chemicals
Sound management of chemicals is essential if we are to achieve sustainable
development including the eradication of poverty and disease, the improvement of
human health and the environment and the elevation and maintenance of the
standard of living in countries at all levels of development.
The efficient environmental management requires comprehensive information on
the key factors affecting environment: data on occurrence, fate, persistence and
long-range transport of various chemicals, their accumulation in biota and food
chains as well as on mechanisms of their toxicity, and related ecological and
human health risks. Improved understanding of these processes can be achieved by
linking field and laboratory scale experiments with various mass balance and
transport models. It has to be supported by development of publicly available
environmental and health databases facilitating improved interpretation, spatial
visualization, and modeling of available data and improving the flow of relevant
data to the environmental and health communities. Only such complex information
can provide sufficient support for decision making and development of strategies
related to protection of natural environment and human health.
The lecture will overview current research efforts in the field of environmental
chemistry performed in the Research Centre for Toxic Compounds in the
Environment of Masaryk University and place it into the broader context of
identified gaps, challenges and research needs associated with the global
assessment of hazardous chemicals.
