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 />
