From: Options for an environmental risk assessment of intentional and unintentional chemical mixtures under REACH: the status and ways forward

Fig. 3

Options within REACH to address intentional and unintentional mixtures for the different actors (indicated by coloured boxes): (i) assessment of intentional mixtures by registrants and downstream user to ensure safe use; (ii) MAF as generic safeguard to address unintentional mixtures during CSA of registrants, and (iii) specific assessments and regulation by authorities for unintentional mixtures of concern. Exchange of data (indicated by arrows) via comprehensive accessible data bases on information on hazards, uses, emissions, and environmental occurrence is crucial to identify mixtures of concern for a targeted assessment and/or regulatory measure. Environmental monitoring of exposures (diffuse sources), emissions (point sources) and effects is central to gain knowledge on co-exposures and possible risks (own illustration using Microsoft pictograms, pictogram STP from https://thenounproject.com)
