Report of EuroMix First Workshop on International Harmonisation on the Risk Assessment of Combined Exposures to Chemicals

EUROMIX organised the first of a series of workshops on the international harmonisation of the risk assessment of combined exposures to chemicals from 20‐21 October, 2016 at Imperial College London, UK. The aim of these workshops is to explore options and potential limitations in the international acceptance of approaches to the assessment of combined exposures to chemicals. This has obvious implications for those commodities where Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) have to be established for residues, in that if very different approaches were to be used for combined risk assessment, the acceptability of MRLs could vary markedly. This first workshop focused on the scientific issues involved and identified those topics of greatest priority for consideration at future workshops in this series.
