After going
through the “ Smart policy Reform Website“, I feel Act on Early Warnings , is
one of the important element to be considered while framing a policy for any
new chemical .The ideal examples in this context will be Insecticides, Pesticides,
Toxic elements near nuclear power plants, radioactive landfill related chemicals. I feel that in the
context of “Right to Know”, every citizen has the right to know the chemicals
to which they may be exposed in their daily living.
Gathering early warning signs of these harmful substances
will help to take immediate actions, to protect the communities or workers. Policies
and programs should support and reinforce the community involvement in taking
essential precautionary actions.
More attention should be showered over the health
problems related to chemicals in order to act upon on early warnings, signs and
symptoms. The gap between Federal and State protective policies should be addressed
to protect the community from the chemical hazards in the environment.
I agree, acting on early warnings to prevent further harm to communities would be a really good policy to put forth. Prevention in this case is mitigating a greater breadth of harm.
ReplyDeleteI agree it is important that we all understand and know about what sorts of chemicals our families are being exposed to. Most importantly communities should be provided with information about the harms that are associated with chemicals or pollutants that are prominent in their living environment.
