Abstract
Dit rapport beschrijft de tweede versie van het
Uniforme Beoordelingssysteem Stoffen, USES 2.0. Dit bestaat uit een zoveel
mogelijk geintegreerd risicobeoordelingssysteem voor nieuwe en bestaande
stoffen, landbouwbestrijdingsmiddelen (gewasbeschermingsmiddelen) en
niet-landbouwbestrijdingsmiddelen (biociden). Het risicobeoordelingssysteem
voor nieuwe en bestaande stoffen is volledig gelijk is aan EUSES 1.00
(European Union System for the Evaluation of Substances). USES is een
beslissingsondersteunend instrument voor overheden, onderzoeksinstituten en
chemische bedrijven bij het snel en efficient kwantitatief beoordelen van de
algemene risico's van stoffen. De eerste versie van USES kwam in 1994
beschikbaar als een uitgave van het Ministerie van Volkshuisvesting,
Ruimtelijke Ordening en Milieubeheer (VROM).
