Chemicals surround us in all areas of our daily life. This means
that safety when dealing with chemicals is very important. The BfR
assesses risks for all groups of people who may 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 chemical safety, the BfR assesses
the health risk of chemicals, plant protection products, biocidal prod-
ucts and hazardous substances. The BfR also documents cases of
poisoning and formulations of chemical products in order to quickly
recognise undesirable effects.
