Many European Union Directives seek to minimize the potential for
harm to humans and the environment arising from the use of
chemicals. This book takes an interdisciplinary, selective look at
the effector mechanisms employed in such directives. It covers the
pre-marketing use of toxicology to identify the hazardous
properties of chemicals, acknowledging its shortcomings, while
contrasting the scientific method with the precautionary principle
in developing risk-management practices. The book then goes on to
describe the use of bio-indicators, chemical analyses and
mathematical modelling for prediction, or to determine the adequacy
of chemical safety legislation. The environmental risk assessment
of priority chemicals is described and the impact of pesticides on
sustainability in agriculture is discussed from the differing
standpoints of agronomy and economics. Audience: All professionals
concerned with the safe management of chemicals and their use,
including teachers, practitioners, policy makers or legislators.
