Collected information on fate, weathering, behaviour and toxicity of priority Hazardous and Noxious Substances (HNS) from different sources. This systematized information is a useful tool to predict the behaviour of priority HNS in accidental spills, backing spill preparedness and effective decision-making process. This database also provides support to environment and human health risk assessment. 2016. Cunha, Isabel. https://www.ciimar.up.pt/hns/substances.php.
  2. ONLINE DATABASE - HNS involved in former spill incidents. On this database it is collected information on the fate and weathering of hazardous and noxious substances (HNS) accidentally spilt at the sea around the world. It gathers and systematizes existing information to assist stakeholders involved in spill preparedness and response, and builds return of experience datasheets for the chemicals involved. It will facilitate the incorporation of lessons fr. 2016. Cunha, Isabel. https://www.ciimar.up.pt/hns/incidents.php.
