Some of the most pressing issues facing the global chemical industry will be examined at the Helsinki Chemicals Forum on June 14-15, 2018 in Helsinki, Finland. A key gathering for chemicals safety professionals, HCF is an independent forum that aims to promote chemicals safety and chemicals management globally.

The program for 2018 was recently published. Key-note speakers and expert panelists will probe hot-button issues such as the best way to communicate risk of endocrine disruptors in the social-media era, the challenges faced in harmonizing chemical regulations around the world, problems with micro-plastics in the environment and regulation vs product stewardship in managing nanomaterials.

Last year’s event attracted 189 delegates from 39 countries. It celebrated the 10^th anniversary of the EU’s REACH regulation, and took a look at what chemicals legislation has achieved over the past decade, among other topics.

The 2018 program can be viewed on HCF’s website.
