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

being diagnosed with dioxin poisoning in late 2004. His diagnosis of chloracne was claimed by
prominent toxicologist John Henry.
