Concern over the deleterious effects of chemicals to the environment and human health have prompted governments in the developed world to establish screening programmes such as REACH and HPV Challenge to identify chemicals presenting the greatest degree of risk to health and the environment. While such programmes identify chemicals with the greatest risk, there is no ranking system for alternative chemicals, which while being potentially less harmfull, still carry 410 0$aIssues in Environmental Science and Technology 606 $aChemistry, Analytic$xIndustrial applications 606 $aChemicals$xPhysiological effect$xTesting 606 $aHazardous substances$xRisk assessment 606 $aSubstitute products 615 0$aChemistry, Analytic$xIndustrial applications. 615 0$aChemicals$xPhysiological effect$xTesting. 615 0$aHazardous substances$xRisk assessment. 615 0$aSubstitute products. 676 $a363.1763 701 $aHester$b R.
