Europe Passes Chemical Law

Parliment's of the European area backed a law in which companies will have to switch over to less dangerous forms of chemicals if a less dangerous form is available. This is an upgrade from last years vesion which was only "encouraging" the change.
The legislation claims that there are 30,000 chemicals that could be replaced with safe forms of the chemical. Changing all these chemicals will make testing toys, household cleaners and other forms of household chemicals possible for the first time. All companies will now need to claim all chemicals that they use in the facility, import of export. Their big message in the end is they want a safe cleaner less risk environment for working and living.
