Rather than hosting a single centralised database, IPCHEM connects to data held by Commission departments, EU agencies, national authorities and EU-funded research projects, providing one reference point for locating existing measurements of chemical exposure and pollution. The platform is free to use and open to the general public as well as EU and national bodies, though individual data providers can set their own access conditions for more detailed records. For researchers, regulators and companies trying to understand real-world exposure patterns rather than modelled estimates, IPCHEM offers a practical starting point before commissioning new monitoring campaigns.
