Our IPCHEM users retrieve data from IPCHEM for addressing many different questions. This may involve the need for data on multiple chemicals, multiple media or locations. The new open source R software library we published last month is now also available as a Python version to help our users to explore, filter and retrieve the data they need from IPCHEM.

This award is given in acknowledgement of efforts of JRC staff to reach out beyond traditional silos to collect ideas and inputs from the wider JRC community.
Two new data collections are now available in IPCHEM. Both collections originate from the Italian national monitoring campaign of pesticides measured in inland water and monitoring stations.
The European Commission's Joint Researc Centre (JRC) jointly organises a workshop in Parma (Italy) with the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) (coordinator of the IPCheM 'Food and feed monitoring data' module) to present the ongoing status and activities of IPCheM and to estabish synergies with the EFSA Data Warehouse.
We have renovated the IPCheM web pages, created new sections and published a pilot version of the IPCheM's Advanced Viewer to allow discovering and accessing multiple chemical substances measured in a geographical area defined by the end-users.
