Re: [DCHAS-L] Chemical Safety headlines (13 articles)
Finally a question I can answer. Just take the 10 tests on the EU SDS and their protocols and do it. Once you know what the chemical can do in these tests, then the only other thing needed is for the manufacturer to look at the intended use and determine the exposure route and estimate the dose.

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.
