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 calculation of exposure concentrations)
for the use of dye stuffs and finishing chemicals in the textile manufacturing
sector. This standard scenario is structured in such way that it may
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.
The project is carried out in cooperation with Chemiedaten and Oekoinstitut,
6 companies manufacturing and using textile chemicals and 3 industry
associations. A summary of the interim results you find here.
