What Regulations Exist to Manage Polymerization Risks?
Various international and national agencies regulate the use of monomers and polymers to manage health and environmental risks. For example, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) have guidelines and regulations on the use of hazardous chemicals in polymer production. The REACH regulation in the European Union is one such comprehensive framework that aims to protect human health and the environment from chemical risks.
