Peter Fantke's research focuses on developing quantitative methods and mathematical tools for evaluating exposure and toxicity impacts from chemicals on humans and the environment to address some of society’s grand challenges, including air pollution and the global human burden of disease, ecosystem degradation, all related to harmful chemicals released throughout product life cycles. He contributed to several national and international projects focusing on life cycle impact assessment, external cost analysis, socioeconomic analysis, environmental risk assessment, and alternatives assessment incl. chemical substitution. More about his expertise is found at https://substitute.dk
He is Managing Director of the USEtox Team hosting the UNEP/SETAC scientific consensus model for characterizing toxicity impacts of chemicals, CEO at substitute ApS, an SME focussing on implementing quantitative sustainability and chemical impact assessment methods into regulatory and company decision-making workflows, and RobustNature Adjunct Professor at the Department for Evolutionary Ecology and Environmental Toxicology, Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany. He contributes to training at MSc and PhD level, organizes international training workshops, initiated and coordinates internal training in his research division, and coordinates global task forces on quantifying emissions of pesticides and addressing health effects from exposure to fine particulate matter.
Peter also offers tailored USEtox training for companies & other institutions, see here.
