The newly proposed EFSA guidance document on risk assessment for plant protection products for aquatic organisms1 recommends the Lumbriculus test (instead of the Chironomus test) specifically for pesticides with fungicidal activity. ECT coordinated the validation ring test for the Lumbriculus OECD test guideline […]
ECT celebrated its 20th anniversary party in the Senckenberg-Museum, Frankfurt, on 22 November 2013. We thank all our guests for the great time we have had together among the dinosaurs!
According to European legislation, an environmental risk assessment of veterinary medicinal products for dung fauna is required for parasiticides used to treat pasture animals. In the past, the demonstration of environmental safety of those parasiticides for dung fauna was hampered by the fact that no standardised tests were available. Therefore, test systems for evaluating effects […]
ECT presented its work and activities at its own booth. Due to good experiences made, we will offer our services in the same way at the next SETAC Europe conference.
Chairing
M. Weil is chairing the session ‘Nanomaterials’.

The presence of emerging contaminants and pathogens in the water cycle may pose a risk to humans and the environment. It is known that municipal wastewater treatment plants currently cannot remove all pathogens and anthropogenic micropollutants such as drug residues, cosmetics, or additives of food and industrial products from the wastewater. Advanced treatment methods such […]
The ROUTES project aimed to evaluate new routes of sewage sludge treatment and management matching the needs of different wastewater origins and different digested sludge utilisations. Elimination of micropollutants was targeted for agricultural sludge application, and minimising the production volume for other sludge disposal routes. Research of ECT in sludge-soil interactions focussed on three aspects: […]
On October 30, 2011 we lost Dr. Thomas Knacker, managing director of ECT and a much valued and loved colleague, research partner and friend. We deeply regret the loss of an internationally honoured ecotoxicologist. A farewell, in which several colleagues and friends are expressing their sorrow, has been published […]
