Chemicals at a Glance
The Chemical Substance Public Summaries are a series of short fact sheets about chemical substances that are being (or have been) assessed in Canada for their possible risks to human health and the environment. The Public Summaries answer questions such as:
- What is it?
- How is it used?
- Why did the Government of Canada assess it?
- What is the Government of Canada doing?
- What can Canadians do?
Where can I get more information?
For further information, including technical substance profiles and assessment reports for specific substances, please visit our Web pages on the Challenge, Micro-organisms or the Petroleum Sector Stream Approach.
Please note that Chemical Substance Public Summaries will be revised, from time to time, as each substance moves through the various technical and regulatory stages of the risk assessment and risk management processes.
