Solvent Transfer—Efficiency of Risk Management Measures
This paper determines what airborne protection is needed to transfer volatile solvents in a workplace. The proposed measures enable to reduce the average emissions by over 90%.
What are solvents?
This Factsheet explains how solvents make it possible to process, apply, clean or separate materials.
Solvents & the environment
This fact sheet shows how the solvents industry has implemented measures to address concerns about environmental performance and has worked with industry partners, scientists and legislators to further explore the need and the means to improve air quality in a cost-effective manner.
Solvents & Ozone
This fact sheet shows what part the solvents industry plays in reducing ozone peaks and how it has substantially reduced its emissions to contribute to air quality in Europe.
VOCs and Indoor Air Quality
This September 2017 technical position paper shows the industry’s commitment to reduce emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and improving indoor air quality.
RCP for setting occupational exposure limits for hydrocarbon solvents
This paper from July 2017 provides an update on the application of the reciprocal calculation procedure (RCP) method to calculate occupational exposure levels for hydrocarbon solvents taking into account recent toxicological information and changes in regulatory requirements.
GES application & interpretation under REACH
This May 2011 scientific paperexplores how generic exposure scenarios have been developed, applied and interpreted under REACH.
Key lessons learned from European Air Quality legislation
The objective of this position paper is to share some of the key lessons learnt from the EU air quality legislation. This May 2017 paper shows the industry’s commitment to improve air quality.
Air quality challenge in China and Asia
The objective of this technical position paper is to propose a way forward in improving (primarily Chinese) air quality by highlighting the need for accurate emissions inventories and air quality modelling. This April 2017 paper shows the industry’s commitment to improve air quality world-wide.
EU Ecolabel
ESIG recognises that the EU Ecolabel has significant potential to promote the most sustainable products. This February 2017 paper demonstrates the industry’s continuous commitment to improve its products’ environmental footprint.
