What EU chemicals policy could achieve
The European Union has become a recognised global model for policies that protect the health and environment of its citizens. However, often the legislation has weaknesses and turns out to be not as ambitious as we have been led to believe. This is particularly the case in relation to the application of the precautionary principle, which if more rigorously applied, would protect our health better.
Below we present you with our perspective on a range of policies related to chemicals. Even though these initiatives are moving in the right direction, they are sometimes still not adequately protecting our health.
Making improvements in chemical safety
Tightening up regulations on pesticides
Ensuring beauty and hygiene products are safer
Monitoring what we have in our bodies
