Environmental fate of nanoparticles: physical chemical and biological aspects – a few snapshots
The environmental risk that nanomaterials can undergo is a major problem, which could prevent the commercial development of nanoproducts, especially in technology domains corresponding to large distribution: cosmetics, composite materials, civil engineering materials and leisure materials. The risk assessment is based on a complex approach, which implies the knowledge of the degradation ...

PBT assessment using the revised annex XIII of REACH: A comparison with other regulatory frameworks
There is no uniform Persistent, Bioaccumulative, Toxic (PBT) or very Persistent, very Bioaccumulative (vPvB) assessment of chemicals in Europe, as the various regulatory frameworks use only limited or dissimilar PBT assessments, or none at all. The European REACH Regulation requires a PBT/vPvB assessment for all chemical substances that are produced within or imported into the EU in amounts ...

The Phase 1 Environmental Assessment
In today’s world where every property is subject to potential environmental risks a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment or ESA is an appropriate action to take. An ESA can help determine if the property has been contaminated by previous or current activities. The ESA can help protect the purchaser of a property from environmental risks prior to the closing on a property. Lenders ...

Canadian Soil Quality Guidelines for PAHs
The document provides detailed guidelines on Canadian Soil Quality for protecting environmental and human health, focusing on Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). It revises the 2008 guidelines, incorporating improvements in the understanding and implementation of PAH soil quality guidelines, superseding those from 1997. The key points include:PAH Sources and Nature: PAH contamination is ...

Environmental Insurance: Tailored to Fit
More sophisticated insurance tools are making it earier to protect your property Contaminated properties represent a huge investment opportunity, but much of it lies untapped because of environmental liability concerns. Anyone who buys property that is actually or potentially contaminated should consider it as a risk management option, and they should do so very early in the brownfield ...

Do I need a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (Phase I ESA) and What do they cost?
A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, often called a Phase I ESA, is generally performed on a commercial property usually as part of a sale/purchase or commercial financing by a broker or other lending institution. The objective is to protect a prospective buyer, property owner, or lending institution from some unforeseen aspect of the property that could affect the value or saleability of ...

Environmental exposure assessment of engineered nanoparticles: why REACH needs adjustment
Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) possess novel properties making them attractive for application in a wide spectrum of fields. These novel properties are not accounted for in the environmental risk assessment methods REACH proposes in their guidance on environmental exposure estimation, although ENMs are already applied in a variety of consumer and industrial products. It is thus necessary to ...

I need a Phase I Environmental site assessment (Phase I ESA) Who do I call?
A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (Phase I ESA) A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (Phase I ESA) is used to determine the liability to property buyers or financial institutions during mergers and acquisitions, refinancing of commercial real estate, and other situations in order to identify the environmental risks of a site and satisfy the “due diligence” efforts to ...
