| 500 | |a "There is a growing interest and understanding of the potential exposure to chemicals contained in commonly used articles, such as personal computers, textiles, and toys. Information exchange is here one key factor to enabling actors to avoid hazardous chemicals and to manage risks. While an information system is not a substitute for other policy mechanisms to mitigate the harms from toxic substances in articles, it can be a powerful compliment. This report aim at contributing to the continued discussion on the various measures needed to achieve improved chemicals management at national, regional and global levels, by exploring the benefits from in-formation on chemicals in articles." | ||

| 520 | 3 | |a The use of toxic chemicals in articles is a growing concern for public health and the environment. International trade results in substances being transported among regions. From toys and household items to electronic equipment and automobiles, toxic substances in articles are an increasingly important factor contributing to the global burden of toxic substances. Toxic substances in articles may pose threats at every stage of the product life cycle - production, use, and disposal or recycling. In this report, we consider a factor that is critical for the sound management of substances in articles: the availability of information. At present, there is no global system for provision of information about substances in a wide range of articles. First, the report describes the problem of toxic substances in articles, with detailed case studies of selected examples and considers the advantages that would result from better information management systems. Second, the report considers existing efforts to generate and disseminate information about substances in articles, both regulatory requirements and voluntary initiatives. Third, the report offers suggestions as to the questions and themes that would need to be considered in order to improve management of information about substances in articles. | |
