Introduction
Why focus on Chemicals and Hazardous Wastes?
Global production of chemicals has increased and will continue
increasing
More than 160M known substances (WHO)
Certain chemicals have caused
Serious damages to human and the environment e.g. asbestos,
benzene, trichloroethane (TCA), trichloroethylene (TCE), DDT
Incidence of some diseases has increased
Some are persistent and becomes endocrine disruptor
