Within the EC funded LIFE project VERMEER, a new software system to support the risk assessment of rodenticides released in surface water has been developed. The software allows to estimate the concentration of rodenticides in aquatic organisms and to predict several toxicological endpoints required for regulatory purpose.
The software, freely available, has been designed in line with the regulatory framework for biocides products (Regulation EU No 528/2012)
VERMEER Rodenticides, according to the scenarios defined by ECHA, allows to predict the concentration of rodenticides released in surface water providing at the same time predictions for a series of toxicological endpoints. The user is asked to provide the information regarding the chemical(s) and the species of concern, and other important parameters and physico-chemical properties in order to launch the simulation.
The software allows to run both deterministic and probabilistic simulations.
