Die US-amerikanische Website der Umwelt-Organisation „The Ecology Center“ klärt über die häufigsten Chemikalien in alltäglichen Produkten auf. Sie haben eine „Roadmap for Comprehensive Chemicals Policy“ formuliert. Eine Übersicht über internationale Standards und rechtliche Regulierungen gibt es ebenfalls.
Hier die Kurzversion der „Elements of a Comprehensive Chemicals Policy“:
- Know what is contained in your products.
- Prescreen all chemicals before use for safety.
- Insure that all chemical components in existing products are tested to assess hazards.
- Eliminate the worst chemicals and commit to continuous improvement.
- Prohibit chemicals with a high hazard profile.
- Commit to continuous improvement in the toxicity profile of all chemicals used.
- Disclose ingredients.
- Publicly support government chemical reform measures.
- Be socially responsible.
- Publicly disclose progress.
