PRTRs: Promoting Pan-European Environmental Health

Explore the role of Pollutant and Transfer Registers in managing chemicals, LCA-like regulations, risk analysis, and communication for public health. Learn about the "Pyramid of Chemicals" and EH Info Systems. Discuss the development and integration of E-PRTR tools. Uncover hotspots, diffuse sources, sensitive groups, and risk models. Presented by Ondrej Velek at the UN ECE side event in Budapest, June 23, 2004.

  1. Future E-PRTR, EH InfoSystems, E-Scorecard -co-operating tools for Risk Management of Chemicals? Ondrej Velek ondrej.velek@ecn.cz UNECE side event, Budapest, June 23,2004 “PRTRs now! How Pollutant and Transfer Registers can promote Pan-European Environmental and Public Health”

  2. Management of Chemicals LCA-like regulations of materials, money, information? EH IS PRTR PRTR REACH

  3. Management of Chemicals „Pyramid“ of Chemicals around us: 10 - banned 100 - restricted ... 1000 - reported (PRTR ...) 10 000 - studied (IRPTC ...) 100 000 - registered (REACH ...) 20 000 000 - “named” (CAS numbered)

  4. Env.Health Info Systems and Chemosphere? Doses - exposures - effects..

  5. Nat. PRTRs, GIS and modelling tools available ... Identification of “hotspots” „ex-post“ Identification of Diffuse sources in local context Identification of sensitive groups (children, women and eldery) near facilities Risk Analysis and Models of risk „ex-ante“ Risk Communication in local context PRTR - Tool for Risk Management

  6. E-PRTR step-by-step Development ? Norway proposal...

  7. EH IS -PRTR Integration? - SWOT
