This WP will provide data for receptor binding of the tested xenobiotics at a molecular level in cell-free systems, since in most cases the binding of a compound to a receptor molecule implicates a biological effect, either agonistic or antagonistic. However, since biological approaches are not ca-pable of identifying the chemical structures of environmental contaminants, feasible combinations of bioassays and chemical analysis will be developed and tested. As a pretreatment step concepts of an

Effect-Net is a multi- and transdisciplinary project that intends to generate a toolbox for multi-scale chemical effects as a basis for a holistic effect-based risk evaluation, and for sociocultural governance aiming at personal and political responsibility as well as a reduction of emissions of hazardous chemicals into aquatic environments. The focus is on the development of a multi-scale network for the identification and evaluation of the biological hazards posed by emerging high-consumption
