Description

To manage the thousands of chemicals in commercial use, decision makers around the world rely on information derived from assessments that examine the risks these substances may pose to human health and the environment, such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agencyäó»s (EPA) Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) Program, Canadaäó»s Chemicals Management Plan (CMP), Australiaäó»s Inventory Multi-tiered Assessment and Prioritisation (IMAP) framework, and the World Health Organizationäó»s (WHO) International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) Monographs Programme and International Programme on Chemical Safety (IPCS). This report examines: (1) how selected foreign programs conduct risk assessment activities to understand the human health risks of certain chemicals; and (2) how Canada manages the human health risks of chemicals identified as toxic under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA), 1999. This is a print on demand report.
