Abstract

The paper analyses in which way EU REACH regulation is capable to contribute to health and environmental safety in Lithuania. In this respect, the importance of improved knowledge on intrinsic properties of chemical substances, implementation of safety measures, and use of less hazardous substitutes are emphasized. The quantitative assessment of the possible benefits of REACH was carried out for a few occupational diseases – asthma, dermatitis, and cancer. REACH has a good opportunity to remind the necessity of prevention and protection measures. The study on the use and substitution of substances of very high concern showed a low awareness of industry on hazardous chemicals prior to REACH adoption.
