ILO – Chemicals have become a part of our life, sustaining many of our activities, preventing and controlling many diseases, increasing agricultural productivity. However one can not ignore that many of these chemicals may, especially if not properly used, endanger our health and poison our environment. It has been estimated that approximately one thousand new chemicals come onto the market every year, and about 100.000 chemical substances are used on a global scale.
These chemicals are usually found as mixtures in commercial products. One to two million such products or trade names exists in most industrialized countries. More substances and rising production mean more storage, transport, handling, use and disposal of chemicals. The whole lifecycle of a chemical should be considered when assessing its dangers and benefits.
The environment may be affected, chemicals may pollute the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat. They may have entered into forests and lakes, destroying wildlife and changing the ecosystems. Chemicals are not all of equal concern. The assessment of health risks of chemical substances is a continuous process where information of the chemical hazards is made available through a variety of sources. Remember: chemicals have power, and that is why they have become an important part of our life. Respect that power and handle them with care.
