The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) just posted a request on Marketplace.

Why? One company has submitted an Application for Authorisation to ECHA in order to allow continued use of Trichloroethylene in the extraction process of caprolactam. The legislation states that an authorisation should only be granted if there are no safer alternatives available.

ECHA is therefore reaching out to solution providers here on Marketplace, urging them to submit information about their alternatives.

What do Marketplace users think of the platform and how is it being used? Do you know how many ads are published? Here are some hard numbers to answer those questions.

For some time now, chromium VI has perhaps been the most well-known toxic chemical in the world – largely because of the Hollywood movie Erin Brockovich starring Julia Roberts. That was over 20 years ago, but the problems have not stopped.

In May 2015, the Danish supermarket COOP completely stopped selling microwave popcorn. The shelves where it used to be were suddenly empty. Then in October the same year, it reappeared on the shelves. What had happened?
