FRAM - Centre for Future Chemical Risk Assessment and Management Strategies
Welcome to FRAM, the Centre for Future Chemical Risk Assessment and Management Strategies! We work for a safe use of chemicals for both humans and the environment.
We are dependent on chemicals for our daily life. Industrially produced chemicals enable healthcare, food production, consumer products and infrastructure. The development goes fast, 40 new chemicals are registered every hour. The challenge is that chemicals also endanger human health and the environment. Unfortunately, no one today knows exactly how. Data on how toxic a chemical is, are in most cases missing. In addition, a mixture of chemicals is usually much more toxic than its individual ingredients. In order to ensure sustainable development in this area, FRAM focuses on chemical risk assessment and management of the combined effect of chemicals.
