| Résumé : |
This joint initiative of the European detergent and surfactant industries (AISE, CESIO) was founded in 1991 as a response to the ongoing risk assessment activities in Europe. The activities of ERASM (Environmental Risk Assessment and Management) aim at a scientifically sound environmental risk assessment of surfactants used in detergents and involve work by industry expert groups as well as environmental research programmes sponsored by industry. The goals include programmes to improve the existing tools for risk evaluation and to enlarge knowledge about the fate and impact of surfactants in environmental compartments. The ERASM (Environmental Risk Assessment of Surfactants Management) activities in recent years have focussed on the development of GREAT-ER, a sophisticated calculation model allowing a visualised prediction of chemicals concentration along a river, and on in-depth studies into the bioconcentration behaviour as well as the terrestrial fate and effects of important surfactant groups. Major contributions have also been made to an improved understanding of surfactants role in anaerobic environments, their influence on artificial river ecosystems and their possible impact to rivers receiving untreated waste waters. The paper will review the background and summarise the achievements, and the conclusions from these ERASM activities. |
