| Popis: | International audience; The adoption of the new chemicals regulation : REACH, by the European parliament late 2006 has been considered by many observers as the end of a long story. After a decade long debating and discussing the ecological, health and economical issues, after serious revisions of the ambition of the initial text, a final draft was adopted that will change the way we regulate chemicals for the next century. The initial focus of the discussions was the cost of coping with REACH for chemical industry. A minority of stakeholders have tried to shift the googles to inspect the benefits for human health and ecosystem services. Such benefits are probably considerable but, unfortunately, not calculable. Nowadays, most of the discussions deal with the needs for a proper expertise and on the necessity of new tools for an optimum implementation of the regulation. Furthermore European chemical industry now communicates on the role that innovation might have to develop a green chemistry i.e. a chemistry that would provide goods and services to humanity, jobs for people and medicines for ill people while having not or at least negligible impact on the environment and unrenewable resources. This is where research can take the lead. From a regulator perspective the ideal situation would be the following : A series of low cost tests to assess toxicity of chemicals with a good precision, especially no false negative, A set of models to infer the effects in the real world from laboratory studies : sensitive human populations, populations, communities and ecosystem level, induced resistance and other genetic and epigenetic effects; Among those models, models that are based on chemical properties only are very welcome since they are very cheap and do not raise any ethical problem. A panoply of chemical, biological and sensor-based tools to monitor the toxic substances and their effects in the environment. It is easy to understand that we are far from that ideal situation. It is our responsibility in the scientific community to find solutions to those issues. Many research questions, being raised from a solution minded orientation of from a pure knowledge perspective are currently developed that will provide the policy makers with relevant options for their action. ISTA2009 will certainly reveal new findings that contribute to policy making. This lecture is an attempt to put together some of these questions and recent tracks to answer them. It will focus on modelling, integrated management and monitoring. |
