Within the US Environmental Protection Agency's (US EPA) New Chemicals Program under Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), read-across has been widely used, as well as within technical guidance published by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, the European Chemicals Agency, and the European Center for Ecotoxicology and Toxicology of Chemicals for filling chemical toxicity data gaps. Under the TSCA New Chemicals Review Program, US EPA is tasked with reviewing proposed new chemical applications prior to commencing commercial manufacturing within or importing into the United States. The primary goal of this review is to identify any unreasonable human health and environmental risks, arising from environmental releases/emissions during manufacturing and the resulting exposure from these environmental releases. The authors propose the application of read-across techniques for the development and use of a framework for estimating the emissions arising during the chemical manufacturing process. This methodology is to utilize available emissions data from a structurally similar analogue chemical or a group of structurally similar chemicals in a chemical family taking into consideration their physicochemical properties under specified chemical process unit operations and conditions. This framework is also designed to apply existing knowledge of read-across principles previously utilized in toxicity estimation for an analogue or category of chemicals and introduced and extended with a concurrent case study.</p>","PeriodicalId":516867,"journal":{"name":"Clean technologies and recycling","volume":"3 4","pages":"283-300"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10866300/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139737039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
