Project Goals
Its key goals are:
Ensure a more rapid translation of the latest research into a strong and effective implementation of EU chemicals policy, known as REACH, to protect human health;
Support and increase NGO and wider public interest in, and knowledge of REACH implementation decisions relating to health issues;
Channel society’s concerns into the priorities adopted for the implementation of REACH;
Promote the precautionary principle and right to know in chemical policy; support substitution of hazardous chemicals in REACH procedures;
Facilitate greater collaboration between environmental groups and the health and scientific communities.

- This website is a part of the Chemicals Health Monitor Project (CHM), which aims to improve public health by ensuring that key scientific evidence on the links between chemicals and ill-health are translated into policy as quickly as possible. The CHM project was launched by the Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL) in collaboration with CHEM Trust, Collaborative on Health and Environment and other partner organisations across Europe in March 2007.
