 | | In recent years, Greenpeace has conducted research that shows hazardous chemicals are now out of control in the environment, present in household products, electronic goods and children clothes, and detectable in house dust, rain water, food and, ultimately, our own bodies. |
 | | Greenpeace argues that when a safer chemical or technology is available at a reasonable cost, the chemical industry should not be allowed to impose the threat of a hazardous substance on its workforce, the public or the environment. |
 | | Greenpeace, the EEB and Friends of the Earth welcome new figures about the cost of the proposed new chemicals policy (REACH) presented today by the Commission. |
