Effect-Net
OverviewEffect-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 chemicals showing up as micropollutants in aquatic ecosystems. With publicly available food additives and prescription antidiabetic and neuroactive pharmaceuticals as examples, the project aims at developing a network of effects to characterize and analyze substances in the environment not only with respect to their concentrations in water and biota, but also – and in particular – to their biological effects as well as to their relevance and long-term impacts on aquatic environments. The suite of biological endpoints ranges from molecular markers to biodiversity, the latter represented by investigations on the limits of resilience or stability of microbial diversity within biota and in aquatic systems. The understanding of toxicological and ecological mechanisms will be translated into the development and evaluation of effective measures in the socioeconomic and political context aiming at the implementation of scientific knowledge into society. Thereby, Effect-Net crosses the borders between (natural and socio-political) science and public interest by providing an analytical network which gives insight into the cross-linking of consumer behavior and ecological impact.
The research grant is provided by the Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts of the State of Baden-Württemberg.

Workpackage 11. This WP aims at understanding the awareness of the different actor groups to the impact of two types of substances on aquatic ecosystems in terms of biodiversity and human health: pharmaceuticals and food additives. The WP brings together both quantitative and qualitative methods for generating and analyzing data.

Workshop in Leipzig on Januar 8-9, 2019
Abstract
"In 2000 the EU Water Framework Directive was put into force aiming a good ecological and chemical status in all European Waters by 2015 – extensions possible until 2027. 2015 elapsed and the experiences of the last years show that this aim will not be reached by 2027 either. Diverse dimensions and possible reasons are discussed in various scientific disciplines. In October 2017 the European Commission published the Evaluation Roadmap “Fitness check
