4 1. DHI

5 DHI in brief A not for profit research and consultancy company Headquarters in Hørsholm, DK 1,100 staff (850 MSc/PhD, 80 tech., 70 support) Turnover 115 mio. in 2011 (75% international) R&D core funding from Ministry of Science (5%) Offices & representation in 30 countries DHI

6 Environment and toxicology 65 people (engineers, biologists, (eco)toxicologists, veterinarians, regulatory specialists, laboratory technicians) Chemical compliance Food safety Biocides and pesticides Cosmetics Pharmaceuticals Medical devices DHI

7 2. Chemicals in daily life

8 Chemicals in daily life Chemicals are the building blocks of life They are present in us, all around us, and in every product we buy Human beings and animals are made of chemicals; cooking food is all about chemistry; the drugs that prevent and treat illnesses are made of chemicals; the sun that enables life on earth is made of chemicals. Chemicals are both naturally occurring and manmade. Life would not exist without them. Chemicals are vital for our life, so how can we use them safely so as to minimise any harmful impact from exposure to them? DHI

9 Chemicals used in daily life Cleaning products Detergents, shampoo, toothpaste (surfactants, abrasives) Clothing (biocides) Fragrances (essential oils, aroma compounds) Insecticides (permethrin and tehramethrin) Paints (binders, pigments, additives etc.) 61% of EU citizens think chemicals are safer 69% of EU citizens think chemicals are unavoidable More than half of the EU citizens think chemicals can help reduce the use of natural resources DHI

10 Who is responsible for chemical safety? European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) Although there are thousands of chemicals used in daily life comprehensive information about their effect on our health and environment is not always available In the EU, member states agreed on chemicals legislation called REACH in AIM: SAFE USE OF CHEMICALS REACH gives great responsibility to industry Industry is responsible for managing risks of chemicals and providing safety information on them Under REACH manufacturer and importers must gather and pass information on their chemicals so that users can handle chemicals safely The Classification, Labelling and Packaging Regulation (CLP) requires that the hazards must be clearly communicated to workers and consumers in the EU. 4/7/2014 #10

11 European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) The EU has the most ambitious chemicals legislation in the world Manages information provided by the Industry On ECHA s website, public can find information on registered chemicals By improving knowledge and raising awareness, over time, the most dangerous chemicals will be phased out and replaced by safer ones 4/7/2014 #11

12 National authorities The national enforcement authorities are responsible for making sure that companies comply with the chemicals legislation. Member States can propose restrictions for chemicals if their risks need to be addressed on EU level. 4/7/2014 #12

13 Current discussions on chemicals COCTAIL EFFECT We have always been exposed to natural chemicals. Recently, along with technological developments and evolution, we are exposed to increasing amounts of man-made chemicals from a variety of sources. Chemical mixtures and the cocktail effect Currently, we assess the hazards and risks of chemicals based on the evaluation of single substances However, there are concerns that analyzing individual chemicals alone does not provide sufficient security and that the combination effects of chemicals should be addressed in a more systematic way. At the moment, there is not a general legal requirement for industry to assess the combination of effects and the risks of various chemicals due to combined exposure. However, there are developments on how this can be addressed. 4/7/2014 #13

14 Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that can interfere with the endocrine (or hormone system) in mammals. These disruptions can cause cancerous tumors, birth defects, and other developmental disorder Vulnerable groups The critical period of development for most organisms is between the transition from a fertilized egg, into a fully formed infant. As the cells begin to grow and differentiate, there are critical balances of hormones and protein changes that must occur. Therefore, a dose of disrupting chemicals may do substantial damage to a developing fetus (baby). The same dose may not significantly affect adult mothers 4/7/2014 #14

15 Generating new data Laboratory Testing Limitations on animal tests Potentially high Cost Time concerns Modeling Quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) OECD QSAR Toolbox Requires expertise Cost effective, faster option Finding safer alternatives to Substances of Very high Concern (SVHC) 4/7/2014 #15
