Tox-Box: securing drops of life - an enhanced health-related approach for risk assessment of drinking water in Germany Tox-Box: Die Tropfen des Lebens bewahren - Gesundheitsbasierte Risikobewertung fĂŒr Trinkwasser in Deutschland
This article introduces âTox-Boxâ, a joint research project designed to develop a holistic approach towards a
harmonized testing strategy for exposure- and hazard-based risk management of anthropogenic trace substances in
drinking water to secure a long-term drinking water supply. The main task of the Tox-Box consortium is to enhance
the existing health-related indicator value concept (German: GOW-Konzept - Gesundheitlicher Orientierungswert)
through development and prioritization of additional end point-related testing strategies for genotoxicity,
neurotoxicity, germ cell damage, and endocrine effects. In this context, substance-specific modes of action will be
identified and characterized. Toxicological data collected by the 12 Tox-Box subprojects will be evaluated and
weighted to structure a hierarchical testing strategy for an improved risk assessment. A technical guidance
document for exposure and hazard-based risk management of anthropogenic trace substances in drinking water
will eventually be prepared

Approaches to the ex-ante evaluation of investments into information systems
This paper critically reviews approaches for the evaluation of investments in information systems prior to their implementation. First, the ground for the review is prepared by examining characteristics of evaluation, information systems and value. A classification of the numerous evaluation approaches identified in English and German literature is then presented. Examples of each class are reviewed and their advantages and drawbacks are discussed. Their use in evaluation practice is analyzed through the examination of empirical studies and directions for future research are given
