Key Properties for the Toxicity Classification of Chemicals: A Comparison of the REACH Regulation and Scientific Studies Trends

In the last half century, improvements in quality of life owing to development chemical industry are indisputable. However, despite global improvements, there has also been a large increase pollution at environmental level and this caused relevant harmful risks not only wildlife environment but human health. response, governments have begun regulate control chemicals prevent pollution. At European level, REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, Restriction Chemicals) was created with aim protect human/animal health from chemicals. Additionally, regulation shows main experimental tests that needed classify physicochemical toxicological point view. The objective study is compare or experiments stipulated by studies carried out scientific community. To obtain comparison, an exhaustive bibliographic review out, analyzing properties (eco)toxicological information established articles published Web Science (WOS) database. results obtained indicate that, although many authors who conducted indicated regulation, others whose essays line regulation; may be because, on occasions, purpose quite different.
