Basic chemistry essential in the regulatory world
Chemistry is often viewed as a subject which should be left to those who work in chemical science laboratories.
However, a basic knowledge of chemistry can help in our understanding of the ways in which chemicals may cause harm, both to humans as well as to the environment. It will help not only to identify some important hazard properties, such as pH and its link with corrosivity, but also important exposure routes. Furthermore, knowledge of chemistry can help in the identification of structural alerts, the use of appropriate read across as well as mechanisms of action. Basic knowledge of chemistry is essential in the regulatory world and this introductory webinar will give you a taste of how useful it can be.
