Chemicals in the environment: A focus on mixtures

Chemicals in the environment: A focus on mixtures: The real world is marked by multiple stressors, among them cocktails of chemicals. The review article published in the current issue of Science magazine presents methodological approaches to isolating, characterizing and tracking chemicals of concern in complex mixtures. Techniques that combine chemical analysis and bioassays are most suited to this purpose -- according to an international team of researchers headed by environmental toxicologist Beate Escher of the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ).
