Macro-Dynamics Modeling Group

  To establish a multifaceted risk assessment method designed to realize optimum risk management of chemical substances, this group is developing an exposure and toxicity information prediction method and a method for comparing different risks between materials, using mathematical, statistical and experimental models. It also aims to disseminate more widely the risk assessment-based management of chemical substances by applying such methods under development to risk tradeoffs in materials substitution and a comprehensive assessment of the risks involved in the adoption of new technologies, and to release information on the methods developed and the results of our risk assessments.
