Industrial Chemicals

The risks that can be posed by chemicals to the human health and the environment causes significant, long-term, and complex issues e.g. Heavy metal toxicity, endocrine disruption etc.

Various national & international agencies e.g. CIB, EPA, ECHA, REACH etc regulate the production and distribution of commercial and industrial chemicals, to ensure that chemicals for sale and use do not harm human health or the environment. This requires necessary testing to produce data on health, safety, and exposure. REACH is one of the most complex chemical regulations in the world and compliance can be difficult to achieve.

REACH encompasses almost all chemical substances; not only those used in industrial processes but also in day-to-day lives, e.g. in cleaning products, paints as well as in articles such as clothes, furniture, and electrical appliances.
