| Environmental Standard-Exposure-Scenario
for substances in dye stuffs and textile finishing chemicals for registration
under the REACH system |
The project aims to develop a sector specific
standard-exposure scenario (including calcula-tion of exposure concentrations)
for the use of dye stuffs and finishing chemicals in the textile manufacturing

serve as a prototype for other sectors as well. Once the drafting
work is finished the outcome will be compared with VCI's categorisation
approach in order to identify the main differences and/or similarities.
