Rising concern in recent years over the possible adverse
environmental consequences of the use of chemicals has led to a
steady increase in national activity towards greater regulation, as
well as voluntary agreements with manufacturers for risk management
of certain products. This book begins by reviewing the current
framework of legislation for the regulation of chemicals in the UK
and then reports expert views on both the current situation and
possible future developments. Subsequent chapters consider some of
the scientific and technical issues, including the evaluation of
the risks which chemicals can pose to human life and the
environment, and the problems relating to evaluating the risks
associated with metals in the environment. Finally, the predictive
methods used to model the behaviour of organic chemicals within the
environment are described. Highly topical, and with authoritative
contributions from international experts, this book covers both the
scientific underpinning and the legislative and practical issues of
this emotive subject. The detailed coverage of a topic that affects
many sectors of industry and society will make it popular with a
wide audience of individuals from government organisations,
industry or academic research, particularly those in environmental
chemistry sectors.
