Global Risk-Based Management of Chemical Additives II Risk-Based Assessment and Management Strategies
Chemical additives are used to enhance the properties of many industrial products. Since their release into the environment is a potential risk for man and nature, their fate and behavior have been investigated in the framework of the European Union-funded project RISKCYCLE. The results are presente...
