Invisible burden - Good reasons to get rid of PBT chemicals
Chemicals which are persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic (PBT) pose particularly unacceptable risks to wildlife and people.
HEAL, CHEM Trust, and WWF developed a brochure entitled "Invisible burden - Good reasons to get rid of PBT chemicals."
This new brochure gives an overview of why PBT chemicals are a cause of concern, what EU decision makers should do and how consumers can reduce their exposure. This release comes at a critical time when the EU is currently reviewing the criteria for these so-called (PBT) chemicals within the EU chemicals law, REACH.
