SETAC Webinar to Explore Biodiversity and Chemical Risk Assessment

Join us for the free SETAC webinar, Chemicals and Biodiversity Loss: Closing the Gap Between Environmental Risk Assessment and Ecosystem Protection, which will be held at 11:00 a.m. EDT on 6 October.

Chemical pollution is a significant pressure on biodiversity, yet environmental risk assessment (ERA) often focuses on individual chemicals, a limited number of standard test species and effects measured under controlled laboratory conditions. Romana Hornek-Gausterer, FH Technikum Wien, will draw on discussions from the special session “Biodiversity and Chemical Hazard/Risk Assessment: Regulatory Frameworks, Integrative Approaches and Research for a Sustainable Future,” held at the SETAC Europe 35th Annual Meeting in 2025. The webinar will highlight how stronger connections between chemical risk assessment, biodiversity science, monitoring and environmental policy could help address the gap between regulatory assessment and the protection of biodiversity under real-world conditions.
