A Chemical Space of Dangerous Substances
Abstract
Total chemical hazards are considered as a set of existing hazardous substances, called their space. Chemical databases are well suited to describe the components of this and other chemical spaces (compounds and substances) and to estimate the size of the latter. The size of the space of hazardous substances is approximately 1.2 million compounds and substances and tends to grow. A subspace of substances of emerging concern ("emerging pollutants", a few per cent of the set of hazardous substances) that fall within the new regulatory framework that provides chemical safety has been identified.
