External Projects involving EFSA
- ONTOX – Ontology-driven and artificial intelligence-based repeated dose The total amount of a substance (e.g. a chemical or nutrient) given to, consumed or absorbed by an individual organism, population or ecosystem toxicity The potential of a substance to cause harm to a living organism testing of chemicals for next generation risk assessment A specialised field of applied science that involves reviewing scientific data and studies in order to evaluate risks associated with certain hazards. It involves four steps: hazard identification, hazard characterisation, exposure assessment and risk characterisation
