S-Risk and EN-forc:
Modelling exposure to chemicals
in environment and food
Humans are exposed to thousands of different
chemicals each day. The origin of these chemical
substances may be either natural or man-made.
Once released into the environment, chemicals
can pollute air, water, soil and food. VITO has
developed two models for the integrated
assessment of fate, exposure and health risks of
environmental and food-related chemicals.
Workshop
S-Risk and EN-forc:
Modelling exposure to chemicals

PROGRAM

10:00 Introduction
Rudi Torfs
10:15 S-Risk: A web-application for human
health risk assessment at contaminated
sites
Christa Cornelis
S-Risk is primarily developed for contaminated
site risk assessment, and combines fate modelling
with multi-pathway
exposure
and
risk
assessment. It is the reference model for human
risk assessment within the Flemish policy on soil
contamination.
11:00 EN-forc: A model for the calculation of
dietary exposure to chemicals
Tine Fierens
EN-forc predicts the occurrence of chemical
substances in food products and the resulting
dietary exposure in humans. Contamination
pathways considered by the EN-forc model are
environmental transfer and migration from food
contact materials (i.e., packaging). Effects of
processing and additional contamination from
imported food products can be accounted for.
