Cadmium, A Health Hazard Surface Treatment

Abstract

The use of materials involving health risks represents a health risk in general and an environmental risk. In some instances restrictions have been imposed on the marketing of materials that are injurious to health and on the use of specific hazardous materials and their processing. This is the case with asbestos, PCB/PCT, cadmium and cadmium alloys etc. These restrictions are published within the European Union in what are known as EEC Directives (EEC 76/769). If individual countries within the European Union wish to adopt these restrictions, these restrictions have to be implemented by passing legislation at a national level. Implementation of this EEC Directive under German law resulted in the Chemicals Prohibitory Regulation (Chemikalien-Verbotsverordnung).
