Modern Trends in the Field of International Regulation of Chemical Products

A. Liashik, Head of department of the Association «Nonprofit partnership Coordination and Information center of the CIS Member States»; Moscow

Today chemicals are considered at many international fora, including UN, OECD and APEC. These fora can offer the regulator and industry various tools for the sound management of chemical products in order to reduce the risks of negative impact on human health and the environment. In addition, international venues are aimed at harmonizing various requirements, including the GHS. Participation in these processes in the early stages, as well as the use of existing tools, could reduce non-tariff barriers to trade and reduce the costs of enterprises to obtain data on the properties of chemicals and their regulation.

The problem of improving the quality of life in the country as a whole and, in particular, the regions of Russia is an important strategic task at the present stage of social development. One of the most important indicators of this improvement could be the formation of global trends in the field of resource conservation and resource efficiency.
It seems that the greatest effect for the country’s economy will be obtained if rational resource management is successfully implemented in the field of industrial production. The rational use and reproduction of natural resources, preventing the negative impact of economic activity on the environment and ensuring environmental safety are preserved as inalienable requirements for industrial activity.
This article describes the processes of managing waste and secondary resources using such an environmental management tool as life cycle assessment.

QSAR Opportunities in Computer Modeling of the Chemical Structure-Properties Interrelation

A.V. Derbenev, researcher of the Association «Nonprofit partnership Coordination and Information center of the CIS Member States»; Moscow
 
e-mail: info@ciscenter.org
 
Currently, it is noted that the analysis and identification of the hazardous properties of new chemicals is widely in demand in various industries. Laboratory research (testing) of new chemicals is quite expensive and, taking into account the intensification of the chemical industry and experts’ forecasts on the synthesis of more than 300 million new chemicals over the next 30 years, the problem of finding affordable and quick methods to identify the properties of unstudied chemicals is more than ever relevant. The use of alternative methods for testing chemical products allows not only to avoid in vivo tests (on living organisms), which are less humane than in vitro methods, but also to reduce the cost of such tests.
One of the alternative research methods is the method of searching for quantitative relations of the structure-property of QSAR. So, for example, using the OECD software QSAR Toolbox, developed on the basis of the aforementioned method, it is possible to predict properties both at a qualitative level (for example, whether a chemical substance will have one or another type of effect on the body) and at a quantitative level (prediction of numerical property values).
Thus, the aim of the article is to study the capabilities of the OECD QSAR Toolbox software in terms of the problem of finding affordable and quick methods for identifying the properties of unexplored chemicals in the framework of Russian legislation.

Various multilateral environmental agreements and the their requirements can create an environment that obstruct the export of domestic products. So there is a need to select a tool todemonstrate the environmental characteristics of domestic products and increase its competitiveness. The tool must be known and recognized abroad. An environmental product declaration may be such a tool.
 
Keywords: environmental declaration, export, competitiveness, product life cycle, environmental impact assessment.

Chemical manufacturers are responsible for the safe use of their products and for their impact on the environment and human health. The rapid pace of development of the chemical industry and related industrial sectors with the involvement of new production volumes in this process requires the control of products and the development of a unified approach to its regulation both by the regulator and the manufacturer.
The proposed article analyzes the current state of regulation of the main aspects of risk assessment and risk management during the circulation of chemical products in the Russian Federation and suggests approaches to assessing, monitoring and managing the risks of exposure to chemical products throughout its entire life cycle, taking into account the unified principles, procedures and mechanisms operating in other countries, including OECD member states.
