A LNE Joint Research Project
The overall objective of this project is to develop traceable measurement methods for endocrine disrupting chemicals, focusing on three estrogens of the first watch list (17-beta-estradiol (17βE2), 17‑alpha‑ethinylestradiol (17aEE2), and estrone (E1)). Estrogens 17-alpha-estradiol (17aE2) and Estriol (E3) will be included to demonstrate the reliability of the developed methods and to support the requirements of Directive 2013/39/EC, Directive 2009/90/EC and Commission Implementation Decision (EU) 2018/840 hence improve the comparability and compatibility of measurement results within Europe.
The specific objectives of the project are to:
