Animal-Free Safety Assessment Collaboration’s Post

Join us for a thoughtful discussion of the Animal-Free Safety Assessment Collaboration's recent publication examining the practical application of the legal requirement to limit #animaltesting to a "last resort" under #EUREACH.

#OneWeekToGo 📆 Join our webinar (March 28) to learn about case studies where the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) did not uphold the legal requirement of testing chemical substances on animals only as a “last resort”, as highlighted in our recently published paper: https://lnkd.in/gq2uGn_D   We will discuss the over-arching issues that contribute to this, and provide recommendations to enhance the governance and enforcement of the legal requirement established in the EU REACH regulation.   AFSA Partner Presenters: Jay Ingram, Humane Society International Carl Westmoreland, Unilever Jay Dawick, Innospec Inc. Xiaoling Zhang, Procter & Gamble   ✍ Register to secure your spot! https://lnkd.in/gUUqgqaw   #EUREACH #regulatorycompliance #chemicalsafety #animalfreesafety #nonanimalmethods #toxicology #safetyassessment #riskassessment

Hopefully everyone who joined the Animal-Free Safety Assessment Collaboration webinar today found the case studies we presented from our recent publication on the last resort principle both interesting and useful. If you haven’t already done so then go ahead and check out the (open access) paper for more info on other case studies and our discussion and recommendations on this important topic: https://lnkd.in/ezsZPW8j

I’ll be speaking at an upcoming webinar covering our recent Animal-Free Safety Assessment Collaboration published paper: “The last resort requirement under REACH: From principle to practice” on Thurs. March 28, where we will:   🔎 present case studies where the European Chemicals Agency did not uphold the legal requirement of testing chemical substances on animals only as a “last resort” 🔎 discuss the over-arching issues that contribute to this 🔎 provide recommendations to enhance the governance and enforcement of the legal requirement established in the EU REACH regulation.   I hope to see you there!

🌍 The Hidden Hazards of PFAS: Understanding the Unseen Dangers 🌍 Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) like PFOS and PFOA are everywhere, from our cookware to our drinking water. This infographic breaks down the environmental persistence and health risks associated with these chemicals, as well as actionable steps we can take to mitigate their impact. 🔍 To more in-depth article about this, feel free to scan the barcode provided bellow or check-out our newsletter page! Let's work together to spread awareness and drive positive change. Share this infographic to inform your network about the importance of addressing PFAS contamination. #PFAS #EnvironmentalHealth #Sustainability #Innovation #HealthSafety #Toxicology #RiskAssessments #ChemicalAwareness

As a representative of the ECEAE, Dr. Tamara Zietek participated in the ISTNET-DART workshop. Scientists from academia, government, regulatory bodies, and industry discussed a roadmap to animal-free testing of developmental and reproductive toxicity. #reprotox #devtox #NAMs #animalfreeresearch #toxicology #MPS

PFAS/PFOS are substances found in many consumer products. Sometimes referred to as “Forever Chemicals,” they are being studied for having potentially harmful effects on human health. We are hosting an online webinar titled “Understanding #PFAS / #PFOS a.k.a. ‘Forever Chemicals’: An Evolving Regulatory Landscape” designed to inform participants about these potential hazards. The webinar will be hosted by Rimkus Principal Consultant Chris Spaeth, Ph.D. This course will help attendees understand where to locate and how to identify PFAS, as well as provide guidance on the latest regulations and health concerns regarding “forever chemicals.” The live #webinar is on June 26th at 10:00 a.m. CT. US-based participants have the opportunity to earn #CE or #CLE credit in select states.
