Risk management of chemicals and contaminated land – from planning to verification - Environmental Deterioration and Contamination: Problems and their Management - page 239

- Emission into air, water and soil from production, use and waste phase of the

chemical;

- Poor air quality: acidification, ozone formation, ozone depletion, greenhouse

gases, particulate matter, toxic or otherwise harmful to human, animal, plant
or other organisms' health;

- Poor water quality and quantity: eutrophication, toxic or otherwise harmful to

humans and the aquatic ecosystem;

- Poor quality and quantity of drinking water;

- Poor soil quality and the quantity of good quality, usable soil: soil deteriora-

tion, acidification, sodification, organic matter depletion, etc. as well as soil
contamination harmful to the terrestrial ecosystem;

- The quality and healthiness of food grown on the site/land in question;

- Current risks to ecosystem services and functions (provision, regulation, habitat

and cultural services), demand and use of nonrenewable (such as groundwater,
minerals) and renewable resources (fresh water, natural forests, wild animals and
plants, fish, etc.);

- Risk to biodiversity (number and distribution of species);

- Risk to the landscape, primarily protected landscapes;

- Current land uses: natural, agricultural, industrial, rural;

- Current waste production: qualitative and quantitative characteristics of waste;

- Necessary transport of raw materials, products, energy sources, etc.;

- Energy demand: current use of energy, transport and waste due to energy use;

- Risk of accidents from the use, transport and waste of chemical substance;

- Other, non-listed risks and adverse impacts on environmental and human health.

Economic impacts by chemical substances, products or technologies:

- Investment cost;

- Operating cost;

- Administration cost;

- Cost of handling risks: workplace risk, emission into air, water and soil;

- The value (price) of the product on the market;

- Quality of the product or performance of the service;

- Current profit;

- Sales and turnover;

- Sales and production volume;

- Employment;

- Competitiveness;

- Impact on the market;

- Other, non-listed economical risks and impacts.

Social impacts by chemical substances, products or technologies:

- Employment, workplaces;

- Current type of necessary occupations;

- Working environment;

- Working time;
