Abstract
Chemicals are essential components of our daily lives, for the well-being, high living standards and comfort of modern society. They are used in many sectors, including health. However, some chemicals have hazardous properties which can harm the environment and human health. Chemical pollution is significantly contributing to the current global problem of climate change and loss of biodiversity There is an increase in health problems that can be partially explained by the use of chemicals. Some man-made chemicals are found in the most remote places in the environment, but also in our bodies. Chemicals are everywhere. Chemicals strategy for sustainability towards a toxic-free environment will ensure better protection of human health and the environment from hazardous chemicals, boost innovation for safe and sustainable chemicals and enable the transition to chemicals that are safe and sustainable by design. It is a first step towards the Zero pollution ambition for a toxic-free environment announced in the European Green Deal. The strategy proposes comprehensive chemical legislations for the transformation of industry with the aim of attracting investment into safe and sustainable products and production methods. Clinical laboratories must choose safer, more sustainable alternatives to hazardous chemicals, address sustainability issues, and implement official guidelines on how to reduce their carbon footprint.
