Priority criteria for the hazard of chemical products for the population of the Republic of Belarus
Abstract
The issues of rational regulation of the chemical products circulation are very actual on the territory of the republic of Belarus. Based on the results of the data analysis in the Republic of Belarus for the first time there is a list of chemical products representing the greatest danger to the human health, which includes 229 chemicals. Based on the results of scientific articles and databases review, the properties of the main types of chemical products dangerous to human health were identified. They are industrial chemicals, household chemicals, paint and varnish materials, disinfectants, plant protection products, fertilizers and agrochemicals produced, exported and imported in the Republic of Belarus. Based on the received data, there has been developed a list of criteria identifying dangerous for the population health properties of chemical products in relation to their types. The classification of 70 chemicals included in household chemicals, paint and varnish materials, disinfectants of chemical products according to the discovered dangerous properties for human health were carried out. It is necessary to determine the status of the use (prohibited, limited) of chemicals on the territory of the Republic of Belarus.
