Good point, but I think that it‰??s the legal innocence of the people producing the chemicals that is transferred to the chemicals when the products are marketed. I believe that the challenge is identifying the test conditions that a chemical should be assessed under. Although chemical products are designed for specific purposes, the chemicals don/t know that and their risks as they are used and dispersed into the environment.,

Thanks for the comment.
