Around the world, the production and use of nanomaterials, as well as carcinogenic, mutagenic, reprotoxic substances (CMR) and endocrine disruptors has systematically increased. The increase in production has exposed workers to hazardous substances in practically all branches of the world economy. Readers will have access to up-to-date and comprehensive knowledge on emerging risks related to nanomaterials, endocrine disruptors, reprotoxic, carcinogenic and mutagenic substances, which are related to the development of technologies and workplaces. The book will provide the tools for occupational risk assessment of chemical substances for which there are no safety levels of exposure as well as an indication of methods and measurements to protect human health and reduce chemical risks at the workplace. This book creates awareness for employers, employees and safety experts about emerging risks related to chemical agents resulting in the reduction of cancer, reproductive system diseases, cases of abnormal child development, hormonal system disorders leading to abnormal metabolism, obesity, and diabetes. Features: Comprehensive information on emerging and newly identified chemical hazards Delivers the latest data on methods and tools for identification, assessing and reducing health risks Provides practical occupational safety advice and recommendations Real life examples from measurements carried out in the workplaces "The monograph, due to the high universality of its considerations, can be addressed to a very wide audience. It is an important compendium of knowledge, which can be used by health and safety services, employers, people designing new technologies and those interested in this issue. It is a valuable and up-to-date study, among others because it uses the latest literature and quotes current legal acts.” —Sławomir Czerczak, Nofer Institute of Occupational Medicine, Poland

The Community strategy on heath and safety at work 2002-2006 called on the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work to set up a risk observatory to anticipate new and emerging risks. Within this context, a series of four expert forecasts were formulated with the aim of providing as comprehensive as possible a picture of the potential emerging risks in the world of work. Three reports on emerging physical risks, biological risks and psychosocial risks have already been published. This publication (the last one of the series) presents the results of the forecast on emerging chemical risks related to occupational safety and health based on an expert survey and a literature review.

The production and use of chemical substances can have negative impacts on the environment. To avoid and/or limit these negative impacts the EU has adopted a large body of rules and implementing measures regulating chemical substances, their use, and their release into the environment. The REACH Regulation is the cornerstone of this acquis, inter alia, with a wide array of sectoral and compartmental EU environmental legislation on water, waste, air pollution, industrial emissions, and specific chemical products (e.g., biocidal and plant protection products). Despite this comprehensive and advanced EU acquis on chemical matters there is a growing concern among the scientific community that this acquis lacks the relevant mechanisms to adequately address emerging chemical risks to the environment in a timely manner. There are numerous examples of the long-time span between early signal and the adoption of adequate measures to address emerging risks as described in the EEA report "Late lessons early warnings report". The difficulty to get emerging chemical risks such as nanomaterials, PFAS and endocrine disruptors, on the radar of policy makers and governmental risk assessors exemplify the need for an EU-wide early warning and action system. As highlighted by the Council of the EU in its conclusions of the 2019 chemicals strategy, the identification of new, emerging risks constitutes a major challenge to tackle. Indeed, while ensuring the prevention of existing risks, it is also essential to be able to anticipate as soon as possible unforeseen consequences related to the use of chemicals and their release into the environment and to ensure that these emerging risks are properly addressed in a timely manner by EU policy and decision makers. Early warning systems (EWSs) thus appear to be relevant instruments to complement/support the implementation of the EU legislation on chemical matters by adopting a proactive and systematic approach to the identification of emerging risks, while fostering cooperation and knowledge-sharing among countries and scientific communities and improving the science and policy interface on such risks. Several initiatives on EWS have been developed in the EU such as the emerging risks exchange network (EREN) which is the EFSA EWS related to food and food safety and covering emerging chemical risks for human health and biodiversity). There is however no official systematic, permanent, and coordinated early warning system in place at EU level focusing on emerging chemical risks to the environment. This is considered in the new Commission Chemical Strategy for Sustainability Towards a Toxic-Free Environment3 which mentions that the 'Commission will develop an EU early warning and action system for chemicals to ensure that EU policies address emerging chemical risks as soon as identified by monitoring and research'. As part of the implementation of the Chemicals Strategy, the Commission has also set up an expert group on 'One substance, one assessment' with Commission services, Member States and EU Agencies to improve efficiency, effectiveness, coherence and transparency of the delivery of safety assessments of chemicals across legislation. Amongst its different tasks, the group shall also monitor, discuss and exchange views on early warning signals on chemicals within the framework of the early warning and action system on chemicals announced under the Chemicals Strategy.

The European chemical industry is the largest in the world but it is by no means the only source of occupational exposure to chemical hazards, because chemical products are both used and are bi-products in many diverse forms of work. This book is a study of strategic approaches to managing the risks of working with hazardous substances in Europe.

A major issue that has remained prevalent in today’s modern world has been the presence of chemicals within water sources that the public uses for drinking. The associated health risks that accompany these contaminants are unknown but have sparked serious concern and emotive arguments among the global community. Empirical research is a necessity to further understand these contaminants and the effects they have on the environment. Effects of Emerging Chemical Contaminants on Water Resources and Environmental Health is a pivotal reference source that provides vital research on current issues regarding the occurrence, toxicology, and abatement of emerging contaminants in water sources. While highlighting topics such as remediation techniques, pollution minimization, and technological developments, this publication explores sample preparation and detection of these chemical contaminants as well as policy and legislative issues related to public health. This book is ideally designed for environmental engineers, biologists, health scientists, researchers, students, and professors seeking further research on the latest developments in the detection of water contaminants.
