This paper presents a comprehensive review of European Union (EU) legislation addressing the safety of chemical substances, and possibilities within each piece of legislation for applying grouping and read-across approaches for the assessment of nanomaterials (NMs). Hence, this
review considers both the overarching regulation of chemical substances under REACH (Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 on registration, evaluation, authorization, and restriction of chemicals) and CLP (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures) and the sector-specific pieces of legislation for cosmetic, plant protection and biocidal products, and legislation addressing food, novel food, and food contact materials. The relevant supporting documents (e.g. guidance documents) regarding each piece of legislation were identified and reviewed, considering the relevant technical and scientific literature. Prospective regulatory needs for implementing grouping in the assessment of NMs were identi-
fied, and the question whether each particular piece of legislation permits the use of grouping and read-across to address information gaps was answered.

Braathen, G.O.; Hov, Ø.

A description of the instrumentation at the new baseline station on Zeppelin-mountain in Ny Ålesund, Svalbard, is given. Permanent measurements are planned of ozone in the troposphere and stratosphere, and surface measurements of NOx, VOC, halogenated hydrocarbons, climate gases like CO2, CH4, N2O, and SO2, sulphate and other aerosols.

Liu, H-Y.; Bartonova, A.; Dusinska, M. (eds.)

The aim of this report is to summarize the results from (i) review of existing and planned environment and health monitoring programs (section 2.1); (ii) review of frameworks which are currently used in the integrated monitoring programs (section 2.2); (iii) review of the results of SP 1, SP 2 and SP 3 to date within INTARESE project (section 2.3). Based upon the above results, we identified the development needs for integrated monitoring and integrated usage of data/information from multiple sources (section 3); proposed a conceptual framework of integrated environmental health monitoring (section 4); developed a work process of integrated data/information from multiple monitoring programs (section 5); recommended the relevant tools and methodologies for the integrated usage of information from multiple sources (section 6).

The resulting index provides spatial information on the areas most affected combining noise and air pollution across European urban areas. This information can build on and contribute to the EEA’s integrated assessments and it is going to be used to disseminate information on the European environment to policy makers and to European citizens.
