The event was well represented by industry, regulators and research laboratories, and provided a useful opportunity to discuss the latest developments in the field of environmental risk assessment. Of key discussion were the current status of risk assessment guidance, approaches to address endocrine disruption, use of modelling for risk assessment purposes and higher tier methods to refine aquatic and bird and mammal risk assessments. ERM are very active in keeping informed of the current status of ecotoxicological risk assessment and aim to include all latest developments in their advice to clients to ensure successful registrations.
