Press/Media: Research

Description

A group of scientists has written to the European Commission to voice concerns about burden of proof and confused evidence requirements to identify and classify endocrine disruptors under the PPP and Biocides Regulations.


Paul Whaley is a consultant and researcher at Lancaster University, developing systematic review methods as an approach for making best use of the best evidence in chemicals policy. Whaley co-signed a letter with 13 other scientists investigating methods for making best use of the best evidence in developing chemicals policy.


I am among a growing number of researchers developing new, more robust and transparent methods for making best use of the best evidence in developing chemicals policy.
