Developed from the efforts of a multiyear, international project
examining how persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT)
chemicals are evaluated and managed, Persistent, Bioaccumulative,
and Toxic (PBT) Chemicals: Technical Aspects, Policies, and
Practices focuses on improving the processes that govern PBTs.
Incorporating science and policy literature-as well as interviews
and panel discussions featuring experts from around the world-this
book provides you with an international perspective of PBT policies
(centering on Europe, Asia, and North America), and reveals major
findings and recommendations for improving PBT science, laws, and
policies. It includes case studies of specific chemicals, provides
an introduction to the overall subject of toxic chemicals, and
weighs in on science and policy expansion for PBTs. It also
provides summary tables of important PBTs, and discussions on the
number of PBTs in commerce, weight of evidence approaches, market
deselection, and international management. The text: Assesses the
history, current practice, and future of PBT management Considers
the roles scientific data, modeling, and conventions play in
identifying and regulating PBTs Explores the number of PBTs in
commerce and the growing role of weight of evidence (WOE) in the
making of PBT determinations Identifies issues that are likely to
come up in WOE judgments Examines international, national,
subnational, and regional PBT policies Includes a comprehensive and
easy-to-understand analysis of PBT science and policy This book
reviews the current science, policies, and practices surrounding
the regulation of PBTs. It also provides relevant research,
recommendations, and suggestions for improving the management and
oversight of PBTs.
