Évaluation des dangers/risques liés aux produits chimiques

De nombreuses activités sont menées dans les pays de l'OCDE et ailleurs afin d'évaluer les risques que font peser les produits chimiques dangereux sur la santé humaine et l'environnement. L'OCDE contribue à ces activités en élaborant et harmonisant des méthodes d'évaluation.

OECD Principles for the Validation of (Quantitative) Structure-Activity Relationships for Regulatory Purposes

24-nov.-2004

In November 2004, the OECD member countries agreed on the principles for validating (Q)SAR models for their use in regulatory assessment of chemical safety.  (Q)SARs are methods for estimating the toxicity and other properties of a chemical from its molecular structure.  They have been used in regulatory assessment of chemical safety in some OECD countries for many years, but not in others.  The agreed principles and associated report from the OECD Expert Group on (Q)SARs will contribute to their enhanced use for more efficient assessment of chemical safety.

OECD published three new Emission Scenario Documents

01-déc.-2004

OECD published three Emission Scenario Documents (ESDs) which describe methods for estimating emissions of chemicals from various industry sectors and from uses of chemicals. They relate to the following industry/use categories: Lubricants, Metal Finishing , and Automobile Coating . Including these three, OECD has so far published 11 ESDs. Users of these ESDs are encouraged to provide updated information for their continuous improvement.

OECD published seven Emission Scenario Documents

25-juin-2004

OECD published seven Emission Scenario Documents which describe methods for estimating emissions of chemicals from various industry sectors and from uses of chemicals. They relate to the following industry/use categories: Plastic Additives, Water Treatment Chemicals, Photographic Industry, Rubber Additives, Textile Finishing, Leather Processing, and Photoresist Use in Semiconductor Manufacturing. Users of these Documents are encouraged to provide updated information for their continuous improvement.
