Together, we build a European Exposure Science Strategy
The GEM Repository is a curated collection of essential datasets, publications, methodologies, and best practices for chemical exposure assessment. It is designed to guide professionals through every step of the exposure modeling process, ensuring accuracy and consistency in assessments.
The repository focuses on two key areas:
Data Sources: It compiles credible data on chemical properties, behavior, and transport across environmental media like air, water, and soil. This also includes data on chemicals in consumer products and workplaces.
Guidance and Best Practices: It provides expert guidance on model selection, parameterization, uncertainty analysis, and effective communication of results.

Why You Need the GEM Repository
Aligned with the European Exposure Science Strategy 2020-2030, the GEM Repository promotes good modeling practices (GMP) that enhance the reliability and transparency of chemical safety assessments. It’s a valuable tool for increasing reproducibility, trust, and acceptance of exposure models.
Key Focus Areas of the GEM Repository
The GEM Repository is organized into five themes to guide you through the exposure modeling process:
Substance Parameters – Data on chemical properties, behavior, and transport.
Exposure Factors – Information on exposure scenarios and related factors.
Exposure Modeling – Guidance on how to apply exposure models accurately.
Model Evaluation – Best practices for evaluating and interpreting model predictions.
Results Communication – Effective communication strategies for sharing exposure assessment outcomes.
The GEM Repository is continuously updated, and we welcome your contributions! If you have additional resources to propose, please reach out to ises.repository@gmail.com.
