Development of a screening tool for assessment of risks from combined exposure to multiple chemicals in indoor air: expert consultations and pilot testing (2020)

In the past decades, assessment of risks from combined exposures and research on chemical mixtures in the environment and consumer products have taken on increased importance. Potentially higher risks of combined exposures are of high relevance in public settings for children. To facilitate assessment of such risks, the WHO European Centre for Environment and Health developed a screening tool. This publication describes how the screening tool has been developed and its pilot testing in Budapest, Hungary (24 May and 17 October 2019), Tallinn, Estonia (24–25 October 2019), Minsk, Belarus (11 November 2019), and in Bonn, Germany (9 July 2020).
