Managing the Chaos of Chemical Lists

Carbon dioxide utilization (CO2U) has gained momentum as a solution to achieve the world's climate goals. This set of technologies creates financial incentives to capture waste CO2 and can accelerate the uptake of carbon capture, storage, and utilization (CCUS).

The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) recently added 10 new substances to the Registration, Authorisation, Evaluation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) Candidate List. Raj Takhar, Assent’s Subject Matter Expert, Materials Management and Chemical Reporting, and Valerie Kuntz, Materials Management Subject Matter Expert, discuss these substances and the requirements for reporting on them.

Performing hazard analyses are critical to safe operation in any chemically based operation or experiment. Often, engineers are approached with proposals for chemicals that have not been used in a company or research group previously. One ready reference to begin a hazard analysis is the careful review of the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for the chemical of interest. Surprisingly, the terms used in a MSDS are not fully understood. This webinar focuses on MSDS terms related to physical properties, flammability, and toxicity, explaining their definitions. Further, the webinar covers how to incorporate these data into any hazard analysis.

Webinar on Chemical Science and Chemical Engineering Which is happening during May 4-5, 2022. It provides a platform for researches to present their ideas, research results and development activities about all aspects of Chemical Science and Chemical Engineering.
