AB - The use of chemical substances has become a necessity in almost everyone's daily life nowadays. However, improper management of hazardous waste and obsolete chemicals may result in environmental pollution, posing potential health and environmental risks. There is a growing demand from both home and overseas that strict control and regulation of chemical substances should be further enhanced.
Against this backdrop, the Chemical Substances Control Act was amended in May 2009, in Japan, for the purpose of achieving the goals adopted at the World Summit Sustainable Development(WSSD). The Modification Act of the aforementioned Act has become of great significance by taking into account the fact that this bill is aimed at introducing the comprehensive control system of chemical substances for every chemical substance. In brief, it is truly noteworthy that the precautionary principle has been further strengthened in terms of the management of chemical substances through the amendment to the Chemical Substances Control Act.
Therefore, Korea's management of chemical substances should be improved in a manner that strengthens the precautionary principle, in light of global efforts to carry out effective risk management of chemical substances.
