Complex Risk Drivers in Water

We use measured chemical concentrations extracted from monitoring data for chemicals measured in European surface waters from the NORMAN network data resource and integrate it with algae, daphnia, and zebrafish toxicity information to evaluate the risk of chemical mixtures on the European scale.

Goal: Demonstrate that diverse sets of substances drive the risk for aquatic species in European freshwater

This project is a big data integration project of various types, amounts, forms of data from different resources and domains.

A prototype viewer of measured concentrations of substances can be accessed here: ChEOS-data-viewer. Please note, that this is work in progress and that it contains only a fraction of our data so far.

In this project we are working with:

  • Chemical monitoring data from the NORMAN Database System, in particular the Chemical Occurence DB, and the Substance Database
  • Toxicity information derived from the Ecotox Database
  • Graph Databases to store and work with the integrated data
  • Large language models to develop methods for easy human-like access to the data

This project is in collaboration with the following partners:
