Future Problems of Novel Substances: The EU Perspective

Teodora Basile

This review starts with an overview of the state of the art of public health and environmental policies in the European Union (EU) and seeks to examine the response of EU to emerging issues posing environmental and public health risks. In this context, EU plays an important role since a wide variety of regulatory references have been introduced on the use and marketing of hazardous compounds by the EU Commission. A broad range of evidence-based scientific measures to protect human health and the environment is available due to the joint commitment of researchers and legislators. Some examples of achievements that have resulted in improved environmental protection and increased health for populations are also shown, together with future perspectives.
