Scientific publications

Nurturing science-based evidence for sound policy-making is a guiding principle for A.I.S.E.. We undertake scientific research with partners (academia, research institutes, etc.) to assess the impact of formulations on human health and the environment. Once complete, our research results are made widely available through articles in academic and scientific journals. 

A selection of publications of such research can be found below. A.I.S.E. partners with the surfactants industry association, CESIO, to carry out risk assessments on the impact of surfactants on the environment and human health. This is done through the joint research platform ERASM, and a wealth of scientific research and publications is also available on the ERASM website.
