Well-designed precautionary filters can effectively preselect new chemicals with respect to global threat potentials. Testing filter performance shows that with a sequence of only two filters, all Montreal Kyoto/Stockholm chemicals are retained whereas the top 33 high production volume organic chemicals pass. The filter procedure is a resource-saving shortcut to a 50-year history of chemical regulation.

More about this publication?

  • GAIA is a peer-reviewed inter- and transdisciplinary journal for scientists and other interested parties concerned with the causes and analyses of environmental and sustainability problems and their solutions.

    Environmental problems cannot be solved by one academic discipline. The complex natures of these problems require cooperation across disciplinary boundaries. Since 1991, GAIA has offered a well-balanced and practice-oriented forum for transdisciplinary research. GAIA offers first-hand information on state of the art environmental research and on current solutions to environmental problems. Well-known editors, advisors, and authors work to ensure the high quality of the contributions found in GAIA and a unique transdisciplinary dialogue – in a comprehensible style.

    GAIA is an ISI-journal, listed in the Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Science Citation Index and in Current Contents/Social and Behavioral Sciences.

    All contributions undergo a double-blind peer review.
