Chemicals surround us in all areas of our daily life. This means that
safety when dealing with them is very important. The BfR assesses
risks for consumers, users and all other groups of people who come
into contact with these substances. Furthermore, the BfR supports
the appropriate labelling of substances, safe transport conditions and
reliable detection methods. In the working area of chemicals safety,
the BfR assesses the health risk of chemicals, pesticides, biocides and
hazardous goods. The BfR also documents cases of poisoning and
formulations of chemical products in order to quickly recognise unde-
sirable effects.
