Résumé : |
Soluble silicates are a major class of synthetic chemicals, surpassed in volume only by commodity acids and bases. Also known as waterglass, they represent a highly versatile group of compounds. Due to their many advantageous properties they are used in many different applications and industries.
In an effort to assess product safety and provide more transparency to consumers, a HERA risk assessment on the environment and human health was carried out. For the major application of soluble silicates, anthropogenic emissions to the environment and human exposure were estimated.
Respective hazards were assessed, drawing together all available animal and human data. Quantitative measures of potential risk were derived and the class of compounds demonstrated to be environmentally friendly and safe. |
