This presentation will highlight research within the Life-Cycle Considerations (LCC) topic of the CSS Program. Research in this topic is unique, exciting and innovative due to its design to address the current needs of our Program Offices and Regions by applying a progressive approach to risk management with the intent to help the Agency achieve its goal to infuse current regulatory practices with sustainability concepts. Risk can occur throughout all stages of the life-cycle of a chemical, and it is necessary to identify at which stage, by what means and how such hazards can be mitigated or eliminated. This topic is supported by projects which apply a life cycle methodology for developing a sustainability data-network, demonstrating the application of sustainable chemistry and engineering and completion of case studies to identify areas where sustainable metrics can be incorporated.
This presentation will be followed up by a discussion session led by Matthew Small of Region 9. The discussion session will cover topics on regional office and program office regulatory needs, scientific interest and how CSS development of life-cycle data, tools and research can help to meet those needs.
