The French HHRA + ERE reference. 104 substances for human health risk + 47 Tier 3 ecotox substances, a Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 approach, and 5 exclusive advanced modules: Monte Carlo, reverse calculation, 70-year temporal simulation, food chain and organ-based mixture. Compliant with INERIS ERS 2021, US EPA, ANSES, ECHA REACH and Sample & Suter.
International availability — this software relies on internationally recognized toxicological and physicochemical reference values (US EPA, ANSES, EFSA, INERIS, ECHA): it can be used for studies conducted in any country.
104 parameterized substances, 22 interactive tabs, 14-page PDF report and native Leaflet mapping. All VTR come from the ANSES reference framework and are kept up to date.
70 base substances + 30 emerging substances: PFAS following EU 2020 (20 substances), phthalates, flame retardants, recent pesticides and individual dioxins.
Parameters, map location, threshold/non-threshold VTR, concentrations, J&E model, DJE, QD/ERI results, VLEP, and the 5 advanced modules.
Calculation notes, threshold and non-threshold VTR tables, QD/ERI detail by pathway and target, map location — ready to submit to the relevant authorities.
OSM / Plan IGN v2 / BD ORTHO base maps, Lambert 93 ↔ WGS84 conversion (proj4js), site and receptor markers, Domenico plume ellipse, PNG export.
Where EQRS V9 assesses human health risk (QD, ERI, VLEP), ECOTOX V9 adds ecological risk via the PEC/PNEC quotient and food-chain transfers to wildlife — in the same interface.
PEC/PNEC quotient for soil (terrestrial plants, earthworm Eisenia fetida, micro-organisms), surface water (fish, daphnid D. magna, algae P. subcapitata) and groundwater (hyporheic macroinvertebrates).
Food-chain transfers (Sample & Suter ORNL/TM-13391) for 🐦 Robin, 🐭 Shrew, 🐹 Vole, 🦩 Heron and 🦦 Otter.
Hierarchical derivation of PNEC: INERIS → ECHA REACH (R.10) → US EPA Eco-SSL. 47 substances in V9: Pb, Cd, Zn, Cu, Ni, As, Hg, Cr VI, benzene, toluene, B(a)P, total PCB.
Readable Risk Quotient: 🟢 < 0.1 negligible, 🟠 < 1 low, 🔴 ≥ 1 potential — for each receptor and each substance.
The only French tool combining HHRA (human) and ERE (ecological) in a single interface.

EQRS V9 + ECOTOX V9
Download the full technical note: architecture of the 22 tabs, HHRA and ERE methodology, scientific references and calculation examples.
Download the technical note (PDF)EQRS quantifies health risks related to exposure to pollutant substances present on a site (soil, water, indoor air). It compares a Hazard Quotient (QD) to an Individual Excess Risk (ERI) to assess the acceptability of risks to exposed populations, as part of IEM procedures and contaminated site and soil management.
HHRA (Human Health Risk Assessment) evaluates risks to human health. ERE (Évaluation des Risques Écologiques) evaluates risks to ecosystems and sentinel receptors (PEC/PNEC, Eco-SSL). EQRS V9 + ECOTOX V9 is the only French software combining both approaches in a single platform.
Yes. Calculations comply with US EPA 2004, ANSES 2018, the INERIS ERS 2021 methodology, as well as ECHA REACH for PNEC and US EPA Eco-SSL. Regulatory updates are included in the subscription.
104 substances for human health risk assessment (VOC, chlorinated solvents, PAH, metals, PFAS) and 47 ecotoxicological substances (Tier 3), in Tier 1 and Tier 2.
The 5 exclusive advanced modules are: Monte Carlo sensitivity analysis, reverse calculation (admissible source concentration), 70-year temporal calculation, food chain, and target-organ mixture.
Yes. The software generates a 14-page PDF report including calculation notes, VTR, and QD/ERI detail, ready to include in an IEM file or a contaminated site and soil management file intended for the administration (DDT, DREAL, ARS).
