Drs Briefing – What will new EU chemicals legislation deliver for public health? November 2007
This briefing explains how new chemicals legislation could be implemented to deliver better human health protection
The regulation of chemicals is not achieving a very high level of health protection. Statistics linking ill health to workplace exposure make this abundantly clear, with thousands of people affected. It is estimated that 27,000 people suffer from work related skin disease in Britain annually, and 156,000 people report occupation related breathing or lung problems. Other work related illness include at least 1,500 -2,500 asthma cases per year, and an estimated 6,000 cancer deaths.
