Why focus on Chemicals and Hazardous Wastes?


Global production of chemicals has increased from 1M tons in 1930 to 400M at present More than 20M known substances About 100,000 different substances registered in EU and 10,000 are marketed in quantities or volumes >10T Certain chemicals have caused
Serious damages to human and the environment e.g. asbestos, benzene, trichloroethane (TCA), trichloroethylene (TCE), DDT Incidence of some diseases has increased Some are persistent and becomes endocrine disruptor
