Environmental Requirements for Ensuring of Chemical Safety in the Development of Industrial Technologies

Abstract

There was provided information on the effects of mass production and the use of hazardous chemicals. There were defined strategic errors during technological processes designing associated with the neglect of environmental aspects/ There was demonstrated that the use of harmful chemical substances for industrial and agricultural technologies often are not justified. There was given analysis of international activities on ensuring global chemical safety, and identified the challenges facing Russian applied science and chemical industry for the greening of the manufacturing sector. On the basis of the analysis of the current documents of the national and international levels, a priority list of the substances most frequently used in industry, representing the greatest danger to man and the components of natural environment, was compiled. Formulated the main activities to limit the production and use of extremely and particularly dangerous substances, primary carcinogens, in the development of advanced technology for the large-scale production. Put a question of the need for a phased replacement of these chemicals by the search for alternatives.
