dc.description.abstractCopyright © The Author(s) 2019. Current prioritisation procedures under the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) do not account for risks from chemical mixtures. SOLUTIONS proposes a multiple-lines-of-evidence approach to tackle the problem effectively. The approach merges all available evidence from co-exposure modelling, chemical monitoring, effect-based monitoring, and ecological monitoring. Full implementation of the proposed methodology requires changes in the legal text in adaptation to scientific progress.en_US
dc.description.sponsorshipThe research leading to this Policy Brief was part of the SOLUTIONS project which received funding from the European Union Seventh Framework Programme (FP7-ENV-2013) under Grant Agreement No. 603437.en_US
