Sound assessment of hazardous substances and biocides
I support public institutions, companies and those responsible for planning to make a sound assessment of hazardous substances and biocidal products and to select suitable alternatives. To do this, I combine systematic data collection with human and ecotoxicological assessments and practical recommendations.
These include the Classification and Labelling Inventory, REACH registration dossiers and the assessment reports published under the review programme for biocidal active substances. I also consult scientific databases, specialist journals and other technical literature.
For disinfectants, the WIDES database enables a direct comparison of products. Other substance groups and applications – such as biocides in evaporative cooling systems and façade coatings as well as rodenticides – are evaluated using a transparent categorization scheme.
The results are prepared in such a way that they can be used as a comprehensible basis for procurement, product selection and substitution decisions.
