On November 7-8, 2013, the Institute of Medicine's Roundtable on
Environmental Health Sciences, Research, and Medicine held a
workshop to discuss approaches related to identifying and reducing
potential environmental public health risks to new and existing
industrial chemicals present in society. Industrial chemicals
include chemicals used in industrial processes or commercial
products, not including those found in food, pesticides, or
pharmaceuticals. Identifying and Reducing Environmental Health
Risks of Chemicals in Our Society is a summary and synthesis of the
presentations and discussions that took place during the two days
of the workshop. The workshop examined successes and areas for
improvement within current regulatory programs for assessing
industrial chemical safety, frameworks for chemical prioritization
to inform targeted testing and risk management strategies, concepts
of sustainability and green chemistry that support the design and
use of safer alternatives, and efforts to reduce the risk of
chemicals in our society. Table of Contents Front Matter 1
