Welcome!
Chemicals Health Monitor aims to improve public health by ensuring that key scientific evidence on the links between chemicals and ill-health are rapidly translated into effective policy. We highlight the rationale for more restrictions on certain chemicals and for the substitution of all hazardous chemicals; we encourage a precautionary and participatory approach in all EU policies, especially REACH.
The project was launched by the Health and Environment Alliance in collaboration with CHEM Trust, Collaborative on Health and Environment and other partner organisations in March 2007.
