[Pharmwaste] Strategy of the European Commission for dealing with EDC's

[DeBiasi,Deborah]

http://ec.europa.eu/environment/endocrine/index_en.htm

Conscious of the potential threats from endocrine disruptors to humans
and the environment the European Commission adopted a strategy in
December 1999 aiming at addressing this pressing issue. The subject
matter is complex and with this website we seek to provide you with the
basic principles on endocrine disruptors and introduce the central
issues at hand. A number of reports as well as the Commission's strategy
are also presented in detail.

A study to complement the "priority list" with a focus on Low Production
Volume Chemicals (LPVC) was completed end of December 2006, and is on
the site.
