Nordic Council calls for a toxic-free everyday environment

The Nordic Council is calling for a more effective policy for preventing exposure to hazardous chemicals, especially of children, and for the EU to draw up criteria for identifying hormone-disrupting substances. The use of SVHCs on the Candidate list (EU REACH legislation) must stop as soon as possible.
