International Programme on Chemical Safety

The International Programme on Chemical Safety (IPCS) was formed in 1980 and is a collaboration between three United Nations bodies, the World Health Organization, the International Labour Organization and the United Nations Environment Programme, to establish a scientific basis for safe use of chemicals and to strengthen national capabilities and capacities for chemical safety.

A related joint project with the same aim, IPCS INCHEM, is a collaboration between IPCS and the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS).

The IPCS identifies the following as "chemicals of major public health concern": *Air pollution *Arsenic *Asbestos *Benzene *Cadmium *Dioxin and dioxin-like substances *Inadequate or excess fluoride *Lead *Mercury *Highly hazardous pesticides Provided by Wikipedia
