| How do chemicals influence the environment and human health? |
| NoMiracle develops methods that will allow scientists to
answer the questions asked about environmental health. In testing the methods, NoMiracle already will provide some important answers. |
| NoMiracle will help increase knowledge on the transfer of pollutants between different environmental compartments,
and on the impact of cumulative stressors, including chemical mixtures. This will facilitate human and ecosystem health
monitoring by providing the link with information concerning the condition of air, water, soil and the built environment.
By developing and using improved assessment tools and novel models, the project will quantify and aim at reducing uncertainty
in current risk assessment and screening methodologies, for example by improving the scientific basis for setting safety
factors. The new methods will take into account geographical, ecological, social and cultural differences across Europe.

| | | "The latest special issue of "Science for Environment Policy" on *Combination Effects of Chemicals* from DG Environment News Alert Service is edited by the NoMiracle Coordinator and summarises policy-relevant research in an easy-to-read format from NoMiracle and elsewhere.
| | | | Dear NoMiracle Readers,
This is our next-to-final issue, and it is a celebration of the impact NoMiracle work can have.
You will find plenty of photos from our closing Aarhus Conference with PHIME on "Multiple Stressors: Novel Methods for Integrated Risk Assessment".
Many visitors, stakeholders and researchers have given frank feedback in this issue.
Get a glimpse of the NoMiracle TOOLBOX, too.
With kind regards and best wishes for the holiday and New Year,
Hans L økke, Claire Mays and the NoMiracle Secretariat
| | | | Across the 5 years' experimental work of the NoMiracle Integrated Project, a long array of novel methods has been produced, dealing with the assessment and management of cumulative stressors and complex scenarios.
Each method or tool is presented by its title, its features, its potential use, its novelty and background. The tools are classified as “ready for use”, “under development” or “more research needed”. References are given, with the contact address for the responsible scientists. The page contains too, if available, the link to the deliverables of NoMiracle on the basis of which the tool was developed. The NoMiracle Tool Box will be further updated during the coming months, with new tools as they emerge from the publication process and become available for the use of other scientists, managers and practitioners.
