Partnership for the Assessment of Risks from Chemicals

PARC is an EU-wide research and innovation partnership program to support EU and national chemical risk assessment and risk management bodies with new data, knowledge, methods, networks and skills to address current, emerging and novel chemical safety challenges. PARC will facilitate the transition to next generation risk assessment to better protect human health and the environment, in line with the Green Deal’s zero-pollution ambition for a toxic free environment and will be an enabler for the future EU Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability. It builds in part on the work undertaken and experience acquired in past and on-going research and innovation actions but goes beyond by its vocation to establish an EU-wide risk assessment hub of excellence.

To contribute to several expected impacts of destination living and working in a health-promoting environment, PARC will organize the activities to reach three specific objectives:

– An EU-wide sustainable cross-disciplinary network to identify and agree on research and innovation needs and to support research uptake into regulatory chemical risk assessment.

– Joint EU research and innovation activities responding to identified priorities in support of current regulatory risk assessment processes for chemical substances and to emerging challenges.

– Strengthening existing capacities and building new transdisciplinary platforms to support chemical risk assessment. The Partnership brings together Ministries and national public health and risk assessment agencies, as well as research organizations and academia from almost all of EU Member States. Representatives of Directorates-General of the EC and EU agencies involved in the monitoring of chemicals and the assessment of risks are also participating. PARC will meet the needs of risk assessment agencies to better anticipate emerging risks and respond to the challenges and priorities of the new European policies.

PARC is a public-public partnership working for the benefit of human health and the environment by developing better chemical risk assessment and supporting the implementation of research and innovation for societal benefit. In order to achieve this,PARC  aims  to establish;  regulatory needs, to develop  system to prioritise environmental chemical monitoring and Early Warning System; to carry our environmentasl and human niological monitoring pf PFAS and endocrine disruptors; to establish and manage the database; to enhance the reusability of human biomonitoring data for improved health risk assessment; to harmonise chemical suspect and non-targeted screening methods across sectors.
