The implementation of chemical substitution involves several key steps:
Assessment of Current Chemicals: Evaluate the hazards and risks associated with the current chemical in use. Identification of Alternatives: Search for alternative chemicals that provide the same functionality with lower risks. Evaluation of Alternatives: Analyze the alternatives for effectiveness, environmental impact, and cost. Risk Assessment: Conduct a risk assessment to ensure that the substitute chemical does not introduce new or unforeseen risks. Implementation and Monitoring: Replace the hazardous chemical with the substitute and monitor its performance and safety over time.
