Additional text

"Evidence of bioaccumulation in field monitoring and regulatory testing indicates that existing guidelines to screen for bioaccumulation may not capture all organic chemicals that bioaccumulate. This project aims to:
1. identify new methods that could be used to screen for bioaccumulation in a more holistic and comprehensive manner; and
2. evaluate whether these are fit for purpose as regulatory tools in support of UK REACH chemical registration requirements."
