Environmental risk assessment (ERA) methodologies for consumer product chemicals are well-established in most developed regions including the United States, Canada, and the European Union.However, such methodologies are not yet fully developed for emerging economies, such as China.Recently, the Chinese government embarked on a journey to develop new chemical legislation that includes science-based risk assessment and appropriate risk management.The objective of this presentation is to share an environmental risk assessment framework involving an exposure methodology using conditions specific to China (i.e., physical setting, infrastructure, and consumers habits and practice).Incorporated in this framework are Chinas current regulatory screening and prioritization schemes as part of a tiered risk assessment approach.
