The present publication is
part of the series of OECD SIDS documents published by UNEP Chemicals (up to 2007) in
response to its mandate to facilitate the access to information needed for
health and environmental risk assessment of chemicals. The documents contain
the information gathered and an Initial Assessment performed under the
framework of the OECD HPV Chemicals Programme. For OECD SIDS documents published since 2007, please see the OECD Existing Chemicals Database or search on eChemPortal.
The
information is provided as an indication of the current state of knowledge of
these chemicals based on the Screening Information Data Set (SIDS), but does
not presume to be comprehensive. The co-operating organizations in IPCS (UNEP,
ILO, WHO) and OECD disclaim all liability for direct or consequential damages
from the use of the SIDS Initial assessment data.
For the last
updated (April 2007) the following list of Chemicals has
been added to our publications.
