New chemicals added to SIN List

 

Green chemicals NGO Chemsec included nearly 30 new chemicals on a list of harmful substances that the EU should regulate in order to curb health risks and water contamination.

 

Wednesday, (8 October), green chemical NGO ChemSec updated its SIN List or ‘Substitute It Now’ List of substances it has identified as Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) on the basis of criteria defined by EU chemicals regulation REACH.

 

Chemicals considered harmful to health, and which are already restricted under EU rules, are increasingly being replaced by other products that exhibit similarly hazardous properties.
