Different governmental organizations, and even different industries, have<br />

taken different approaches to decision-making about the safety <strong>of</strong> chemicals.<br />

U.S. and Canadian regulatory agencies take a risk-based approach to chemical<br />

regulation, whereas the E.U. approach is hazard-based. Many retailers <strong>of</strong><br />

products that contain chemicals, such as WalMart, are also starting to adopt<br />

a hazard-based expectations for their suppliers. Both approaches have their<br />

supporters, and both have positive and negative aspects. They may lead to<br />

very different decisions regarding acceptability based on the same data set.<br />

Since these decisions have important public health and economic impliations,<br />

it is important to understand more about them. The purpose <strong>of</strong> this<br />

Roundtable will be to present the current lay <strong>of</strong> the land in chemical regulation,<br />

and to highlight the differences in decisions that are <strong>of</strong>ten made by the<br />

two approaches, as well as their consequences.<br />
