Chemicals, food and the environment

Society for Risk Analysis-Australia and New Zealand (SRA-ANZ) Conference
26 – 27 September 2018

Picture
Chemicals are an important part of modern life. From the soaps and toothpastes that we use in the morning, to those used at work and the manufacture of new products, and those used to manage agricultural pests. These chemicals all have hazards. It is important for the health of people and the environment that the risks from these hazards are managed properly. The panel presents a variety of how New Zealand’s regulators look at these risks from a range of perspectives, including importing or manufacturing a substance for the first time, managing chemicals safely at work, and residues on the food we eat. Are there also non-chemical alternatives that could be used?

I think there are organic pesticides, I don't believe that everything has to be chemically induced. Example, fertilizers before used to be a chemical fertilizer, but now organic fertilizers are the thing. Same with pesticides also, with that, our lifestyle will improve for sure as it will preserve the nutrients on the crops we buy at supermarkets.

We are potentially exposed to chemicals everyday. And there are chemicals we cannot really avoid but they have zero to minimal effect to us.
