  • Fluorinated greenhouse gases 2021

    Fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-gases) contribute to climate change and in 2019 made up 2.3% of total EU greenhouse gas emissions. F-gases have a range of applications, particularly in the refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump sector. Most F-gases have much higher global warming potentials than other greenhouse gases. This briefing outlines the important trends in […]

  • WITHDRAWN: Community-based population-level interventions for promoting child oral health.

    Discussion Summary of main results This review includes 38 studies of community-based population-level interventions for promoting child oral health, with a total of 119,789 children. Interventions were generally implemented for less than one year (n = 26), and about half (n = 11) of studies were randomised controlled trials. Investigators tested a variety of oral […]

  • Sulfoxaflor and flupyradifurone more toxic to bees than expected

    New scientific information shows that Sulfoxaflor and Flupyradifurone, two new generation neonicotinoid insecticides approved in the EU in 2015, are more toxic to bees than initially thought. The Standing Committee on phytopharmaceuticals meeting of 3-4 December will discuss the future of these substances. While the Commission proposes taking action, some Member States are pushing to […]

  • Probabilistic modelling of developmental neurotoxicity based on a simplified adverse outcome pathway network.

    1. Introduction Neurodevelopmental disorders such as impairment of learning and memory, and cognitive dysfunction, are of serious concern due to the health risks and consequences on the developing brain resulting from exposure to exogenous chemicals [1], [2], [3]. The assessment of developmental neurotoxicity (DNT) is not a mandatory requirement in the European Union or the […]
