ISES Europe Exposure Model Inventory

This model and tool inventory was assembled and is curated by the Working Group Exposure Models of the European chapter of the International Society on Exposure Science (ISES Europe).

Version number / Date:  1.0 / March 2022

This inventory cannot be complete but aims to include the most important exposure models and tools used in the EU now. The ISES Europe model inventory is intended as a living document that is accessible via the ISES Europe platform on the ISES Europe Website.

This table consists of four sheets (and this "Read me" sheet):

- Worker with tools and models for exposure assessment of occupational exposure due to handling of chemicals at workplaces

- General population (human) with tools and models for exposure assessment of humans via the environment and for exposure assessment due to handling of chemicals by consumers (including different sub-populations)

- Environmental Exp. (ecosystem) with tools and models for exposure assessment of environmental compartments due to emissions to the environment

- Dosimetry & PBPK with tools and models for “internal exposure assessment”

Models and tools that were specifically designed for the exposure assessment of nano materials are placed in one of the above-mentioned sheets. Most of those tools are developed for occupational exposure assessment and are placed in the worker sheet.

If a model or tool cannot be assigned clearly to one sheet only, it will be explained in detail in one of the sheets. In the other sheets there will be a reference to that sheet.

Models or tools that cannot be found in the internet (homepage of the model or tool or a scientific publication as a minimum) will not be included in this inventory.

If you, as a user of this inventory, find a mistake or want to add an important model, please get in contact with urs.schlueter@ises-europe.org.
