Basic Information
Introduction
Chemical substances are present everywhere, they are an essential component in our daily lives and they make a decisive contribution to the well-being and prosperity of our society. However, some chemicals can seriously harm our environment or human health and, if not used correctly, can be dangerous. For many years, a large number of substances, sometimes in very large quantities, have been manufactured and marketed in Europe despite insufficient information on the risks they pose to human health and the environment.
These are some of the reasons that explain the importance of good management and regulation of chemical products. Political frameworks in this regard are being implemented throughout the world, which should be in force in 2020 and which follow the recommendations of the United Nations Strategic Proposal for the Management of Chemicals (SAICM). Of the international regulations, such as the United States Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and the Japanese Chemical Substances Control Act (CSCL), the European REACH Regulation, implemented in 2007, is the most ambitious. The REACH Regulation (EC 1907/2006, REACH - Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemical Substances) has been recognized internationally and has been adopted and adapted by the EU's main trading partners, such as China.
The REACH Regulation allows the gathering of scientific information (registration and evaluation) and the application of risk prevention management measures (authorization and restriction) of all chemical products manufactured or imported in the EU. European manufacturers and importers of chemical substances are required to provide extensive information on all the risks that can be caused by the chemical substances contained in their products. This affects European and non-European companies that sell on the European market and means that research centres, both public and private, dedicate a large part of their research to evaluating the toxicity of chemical substances and designing new, safer alternatives for use.
Students will be trained for their employability in sectors such as industry (chemistry, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics...), administrations and regulatory agencies (protection of both the environment and health), laboratories, educational institutions (PhD) related to both human health and environmental toxicology.
The implementation of REACH legislation in Europe has had dramatic consequences for chemical risk assessment and legislation around the world. Non-European countries (such as the US, Korea, Japan, China and India), which depend on the chemical industry and export to EU Member States, are in the process of changing their legislation to ensure that their Products comply with European legislation and allowed to be marketed in the EU. The increasing growth of the economy and the chemical industry in Nigeria, Ghana, China, Brazil, India and the Middle East will generate high demands in the field of toxicology, requiring experts in the area of Environmental and Health Risk Assessment.
