Online calculator can predict mixture effects of chemicals Food, fish and agriculture

An online tool developed at the Technical University of Denmark can assess the risk of a mixture effect occurring when people are exposed simultaneously to several chemicals with a similar harmful effect.


On a daily basis, people are constantly exposed to countless natural and synthetic chemicals from food, consumer products and the environment.

To protect individuals from the harmful effects of these chemicals, it is not sufficient to assess the risk posed by each chemical on its own. Research has shown that if more chemicals with the same harmful effect are present at the same time, they can do harm—even in doses that are harmless on their own.
