REACH - Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals
The new EU legislative framework for chemical substances was formally adopted on 18 December 2006 by the Council of Environment Ministers and will enter into force on 1 June 2007. It replaces the current patchwork of many different directives and regulations which has developed historically.
The REACH Regulation gives greater responsibility to industry to manage the risks from chemicals and to provide safety information on the substances. Manufacturers and importers will be required to gather information on the properties of their substances, which will help them manage them safely, and to register the information in a central database.

European chemical industry facts & figures
The updated version of EU chemical industry Facts and Figures by CEFIC present a full picture of the structure and economics of the European chemical industry in an international context: what is the contribution of the chemical industry to the EU economy, the place of EU chemicals in the manufacturing industry, the growth of the chemical industry, the EU chemical industry energy consumption, its trade performance, investment in R&D or the labor force employed

Human Metabolome database
The Human Metabolome Project seeks to be "the chemical equivalent of the Human Genome Project", producing a database of human metabolites
Since 2004 the project has assembled the current inventory of roughly 2,500 molecules produced by metabolic reactions in body tissues and fluids -- and though this may be only 10% of the human metabolome (nobody really knows) it is a useful starting point, and a unique database.

Subtle sign?
It has to be the least subtle signage update ever, but the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is adding a skull and crossbones and the figure of a person running away to its warning symbol for dangerous ionizing radiation. According to the IAEA, until now people finding hazardous materials marked with the old sign of the three-petal "trefoil" occasionally ignore the warning and open protective lead casings only to expose themselves to a potentially lethal dose of radiation depending on the contents. The Authority believes that only people educated in identification of the old trefoil recognize it as a hazard whereas the meaning of the new sign should be more immediately obvious. The trefoil remains, but has wavy arrows emanating from it to symbolize radiation. Many radiation source manufacturers are already planning to use the symbol on their large products. Strategies to apply the symbol on existing large sources are being developed by the IAEA.
New Symbol Launched to Warn Public About Radiation Dangers
