Issue 1: AssIssue 1: Construction of assessment technologies and methods for environment, safety, and sustainabilityessment Research for Supporting a Safe Society

Research Background

　Governments and businesses need to conduct assessments by themselves for their decision-making on social issues related to environment, safety, and sustainability. To support this, new assessment technologies and methods based on the latest scientific knowledge must be developed constantly.

Outline and Target

　RISS constructs assessment technologies and methods that governments, businesses, and other entities can use. Specifically, we address issues such as assessing exposure and risk of chemicals in recycled plastics, developing hazard assessment methods that do not use animal testing, promoting DX for the chemical accident information database, contributing to the amendment of the Explosives Control Law, helping corporations assess nature footprint, and developing and disseminating AIST-IDEA (inventory database).

　In addition, we also support governments and businesses in their efforts to solve social issues by utilizing the technologies and methods we construct.
