A framework to guide selection of chemical alternatives

A framework to guide selection of chemical alternatives

"Historically, regulations governing chemical use have often focused on widely used chemicals and acute human health effects of exposure to them, as well as their potential to cause cancer and other adverse health effects. As scientific knowledge has expanded there has been an increased awarene...
