La Commissione migliora la protezione dei lavoratori con nuovi limiti di esposizione chimica

The European Commission has proposed strengthened protections for workers against hazardous chemicals. This is expected to prevent about 1,700 lung cancer cases and 19,000 other illnesses, including restrictive lung disease and damage to the liver and kidneys, over the next 40 years. In the sixth revision of the Carcinogens, Mutagens and Reprotoxic substances Directive (CMRD), the Commission recommends setting exposure limits for cobalt and inorganic cobalt compounds, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (‘PAHs') and 1,4-dioxane. Welding fumes are also added under the scope of the CMRD.
