pinfa-NA video: chemical hazards and risks
7th pinfa North America 3-minute explainer video discusses tools available to identify safer alternative flame retardants. These resources can help manufacturers and stakeholders find preferable fire safety options for products. The presented tools are based on the hazards of pure chemicals, whereas risk is the combination of hazard and exposure, and a hazardous chemical can be safe if it is held within a product and there is no exposure. The video summarises the EPA Design for the Environment, Green Screen and Chemforward assessment tools.
