摘要

In order that chemicals risk assessments can be seen to be relevant and reliable, they must be able to effectively undertake both hazard and exposure assessment. However, the fact that the use of many chemicals is widespread can be associated with a high degree of uncertainty in the ability to accurately predict exposure. This uncertainty can undermine steps being taken to improve hazard assessment. The introduction of tiered approaches to exposure assessment provides opportunities for improving the relevance and reliability of exposure assessments through the efficient and targeted acquisition and application of key information on exposure parameters. Strategy Development Ensuring reliable and relevant exposure assessments not only demands that the exposure model is accurate but also requires that the determinants used as the basis of predictions reflect real world conditions. This consideration is particularly important when the determinants are factors that enable users of chemicals to determine how best to reduce exposures, such as those which may be communicated to workers and consumers within safety data sheets and labels. Within Europe, following the introduction of REACH, suppliers and users of chemicals have begun to more widely share such information, but its provision could become piecemeal unless suitably targeted and coordinated. The presentation will examine the considerations necessary for implementing effective strategies for collecting exposure information which are summarised in the figure . Particular attention will be paid to recent initiatives aimed at securing refined exposure information for worker and consumer assessments. Conclusion Recent developments aimed at structuring how information on exposure determinants might be collected by suppliers and users of chemicals provide opportunities for ensuring that exposure assessments are relevant and accurate. Implementing suitably coordinated approaches across these groups should avoid any tendency for the information to become piecemeal or deficient.
