Chemical Alternatives Assessments (Issues in Environmental Science and Technology)

Chemicals Alternatives Assessments (CAA) are used around the world to help guide formulators and manufacturers in the selection of less hazardous chemical ingredients. As part of an AA, standardized approaches are applied to screen chemical ingredients for their intrinsic human health and environmental hazards. Ingredients of most concern/highest hazard are flagged as a result of an CAA, and over time, products (such as computer components, computer cabling, cleaning products, flame retardants, iPhones, etc.) can be made less hazardous through informed substitution. This book presents the reader with an informed view of the topic from a global pool of experts representing several disciplines.
