A Revision of Current Models for Environmental and Human Health Impact and Risk Assessment for Application to Emerging Chemicals

Nowadays, we are living in the global circular economy, where products are produced, used, and finally disposed in different parts of the world. These products have a huge amount of additives, that in many cases can be hazardous if they are not treated properly. The risk assessment of human health and the environment due to exposure to chemical additives is necessary.
