This study provides an insight on whether a systematic inclusion of releases and transfers from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in national PRTRs would improve the current knowledge of industrial pollution as a whole. The study concludes that in order to be able to cover the remaining releases and transfers from SMEs, diffuse sources should be included in PRTRs.

The OECD (Q)SAR Application Toolbox is a software application intended to be used by governments, the chemical industry and other stakeholders to fill gaps in (eco)toxicity data needed for assessing the hazards of chemicals. With this Toolbox, a user can fill data gaps by read-across and trend analysis, group chemicals into categories and gain access to a library of (Q)SAR models. It can be downloaded free of charge.

En décembre 2004, le Sous-comité d’experts de l’Organisation des Nations-Unies sur le SGH a demandé que l’OCDE examine la possibilité de développer des critères de classification pour les substances qui appauvrissent la couche d’ozone, en coopération avec la Conférence des Parties au Protocol de Montréal, et de développer d’abord une comparaison détaillée des systèmes de classification existant dans les pays/régions. La comparaison détaillée a été soumise au Sous-comité en juillet 2006.
