Promoting Pan-European Environmental Health with PRTRs: A Tool for Risk Management of Chemicals

Explore how Pollutant and Transfer Registers can aid in managing chemicals, applying LCA-like regulations to materials, money, and information. Learn about the pyramid of chemicals, from banned to registered, and the role of EH Info Systems in identifying hotspots, diffuse sources, and sensitive groups for effective risk analysis and communication. Dive into the development of E-PRTR, Norway's proposal, and integration with EH IS-PRTR. Discover valuable PRTR links for further information and resources.

  1. Future E-PRTR, EH InfoSystems, E-Scorecard -co-operating tools for Risk Management of Chemicals? Ondrej Velek ondrej.velek@ecn.cz UNECE side event, Budapest, June 23,2004 “PRTRs now! How Pollutant and Transfer Registers can promote Pan-European Environmental and Public Health”

  2. Management of Chemicals LCA-like regulations of materials, money, information? EH IS PRTR PRTR REACH

  3. Management of Chemicals „Pyramid“ of Chemicals around us: 10 - banned 100 - restricted ... 1000 - reported (PRTR ...) 10 000 - studied (IRPTC ...) 100 000 - registered (REACH ...) 20 000 000 - “named” (CAS numbered)

  4. Env.Health Info Systems and Chemosphere? Doses - exposures - effects..

  5. Nat. PRTRs, GIS and modelling tools available ... Identification of “hotspots” „ex-post“ Identification of Diffuse sources in local context Identification of sensitive groups (children, women and eldery) near facilities Risk Analysis and Models of risk „ex-ante“ Risk Communication in local context PRTR - Tool for Risk Management

  6. E-PRTR step-by-step Development ? Norway proposal...

  7. EH IS -PRTR Integration? - SWOT
