S! • R A combines the toxicity and ecotoxicity information with the potential fate of the components in the environment • R A identifies the concentrations people and the environment are exposed to • F ate data (and therefore environmental concentrations) are difficult to predict............but we can use available models (e.g. Q SAR and computational chemistry) • Need to understand the limitations with using such modelling methods to generate predicted values SINTEF M M aterials and C hemistry 11
