"The third edition of this book was redesigned to include all high-production volume solvents used today. The high-production volume solvents are produced or imported at levels greater than 1,000 tones per year in at least one member country. The most recent list of these chemicals has been compiled based on submissions from eight member countries (including the USA) in addition to the European Union's HPV list according to EC Regulation 793/93. It has been used by the member countries to choose chemicals on which to make a hazard assessment for human health and the environment."-- Provided by publisher
