: :
: This book is an essential guide and support to understanding of the science:
: and policy, procedure and practice that underpins the REACH risk :
: assessments required for the use and placing on the market of chemicals in :
: the European Union. A clear understanding of information provision and how :
: this affects the assessment of chemical safety is fundamentally important :
: to the success of policy on chemicals and ultimately to the sustainability :
: of the chemicals industry. :
: :
: Within the book, the scientific processes that underpin the policy are :
: explained in a practical way. Importantly, it includes coverage of :
: techniques to help solve the problems of using potentially risky and :
: hazardous chemicals through the use of less hazardous alternatives and :
: ‘green chemistry’, and also the analysis of the risks of the use of the :
: most hazardous substances against the social and economic benefits of use. :
: :
: Chemical Risk Assessment: A Manual for REACH covers the following main :
: themes: i) Assessment of chemical risk; ii) Risk management; iii) Hazard :
: reduction, substitution and green chemistry; iv) Risk versus benefit – :
: socio-economic analysis. :
: :
: The book acts as a practical guide and overview to chemicals risk :
: assessment and risk management (in the EU context), as well as a support :
: text for planning for the challenges of the future, which will see :
: ever-increasing pressure to withdraw hazardous substances from the EU (and :
: global) market, balanced against opportunities for innovation in the :
: development of less hazardous chemicals.
