List of worst chemicals released
October 31st 2008

With the aim of speeding up the implementation of REACH, the new EU chemicals law, ChemSec has published a list of high concern chemicals.

Over the last year, ChemSec has collaborated with public interest organisations to develop the list which it is calling THE REACH SIN list Substitute It Now!.

THE REACH SIN list is based on the criteria for Substances of Very High Concern, or SVHCs, in REACH, which should be given the highest priority in the REACH Authorisation process.
