Summary
In 2025, Cefic-LRI, the research programme to assess the long-term impact of chemicals, completed six research projects involving 21 research institutes, delivering new scientific insights, tools and models to improve chemical assessments.
Together, these projects resulted in six scientific publications, 29 presentations, three tools and one database. One project was carried out in collaboration with Concawe, reinforcing cross sector scientific cooperation.
Key takeaways
The 2025 completed projects focused on:
- exposure to micro‑ and nanoplastics,
- environmental fate and persistence of chemicals,
- and the regulatory use of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs).
