Toxicological Issues in the Chemical Processing Industry
Abstract
The chemical processing industry has been a leader in addressing the toxicological effects of their chemical products and by-products. The science of toxicology, however, is advancing rapidly, and new issues are being raised that pose challenges and opportunities for the industry. This presentation will discuss the blurring of threshold and nonthreshold toxic effects, and its significance for 1) employee and community education, 2) strategic opportunities for toxic tort defense, and 3) siting, permitting, process operations and emergency response planning.
