REACH

REACH (Regulation, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals) came into force on June 1, 2007, requiring 30,000 chemicals currently in use in the EU to be registered and tested for damage to people, animals, and the environment.

Altweb has collected several articles about this landmark legislation.
