The chemical industry is responsible for many of society’s technological innovations and has a wide catalog in its manufacture: industrial chemicals, pharmaceuticals, fertilizers, personal care, perfumery and cosmetics, agricultural pesticides, soaps and detergents, paints, enamels and varnishes, fibers artificial and synthetic, among others.
To give you an idea, the Brazilian chemical industry is, in terms of net sales, the sixth largest in the world — according to the Brazilian Chemical Industry Association (Abiquim), based on the year 2017.
Considering this projection and the large amount of existing chemical substances, it is extremely important to know the toxicological characteristics of each one of them to ensure the health of employees in the factories.
Therefore, relying on specialized consultants such as Planitox, which has a history of success in toxicological dossiers, is essential to address issues related to the toxicology of chemical substances and better management of occupational risks.
