| Popis: | In Mexico, like in other countries, a wrong perception of harmlessness currently exists for chemical substances, due in part to their generalized presence in everyday life. However, health problems and environmental harm due to their unsound management are real, serious and are affecting the present population and could affect as well future generations. Chemical substances contribute significantly to environmental degradation with the consequent impacts on biodiversity, ecosystems, water quality, air, land and food supply. The purpose of this review is to present the current state of information and legal tools for chemical substances management in Mexico. In first place the relevance to apply the life-cycle concept is addressed and information sources and regulatory instruments for each step of the cycle are cited. As a second step, perspectives, approaches and recommendations that could help in a more rational management of chemical substances in Mexico are provided. |
