International Programme on Chemical Safety
The International Programme on Chemical Safety (IPCS) was established in 1980 by the WHO, the UNEP and the ILO
(International Labour Organisation) "for the early warning and

increasingly exposed, and for the assessment of the potential risks to

It has collaborated to and published many highly recognized scientific publications.
Most

means of rapid access to internationally peer reviewed information on
chemicals commonly used throughout the world, which may also occur as
contaminants in the environment and food." Publications include:
