Ir. Froukje Balk
graduated in Biology and has over 25 years of experience in the field of risk assessment. Her experience consists of risk assessments according to the EU Technical Guidance Documents, including prediction of environmental fate and behaviour of chemicals, with various models, environmental exposure analyses, toxicity evaluation and predictions (QSARs); environmental emission scenarios; occupational exposure analyses, experience in laboratory and (semi-)field testing for ecotoxicity and biodegradability of chemical substances and waste water , preparation and presentation of training courses in risk assessment and REACH for both industry and national authorities. Froukje is a EUROTOX Registered Toxicologist (ERT).
Dr. Angelique Belfroid
graduated in Pharmacology and received a Ph.D for her research on "Uptake, bioavailability and elimination of hydrophobic compounds in earthworms (Eisenia andrei)". Her experience consists of environmental risk assessments of chemicals according to the EU Technical Guidance Documents and REACH, including prediction of environmental fate and behavior of chemicals, with various models, environmental exposure analyses (e.g. "National survey on the presence of endocrine disruptors in the Dutch aquatic system and waste water"), toxicity evaluation, critical data analysis and evaluation, BPBT-assessment and predictions (QSAR's). Angelique is a EUROTOX Registered Toxicologist (ERT).
