AB  - Over  150  million  organic  and  inorganic  chemicals  are  uniquely  identified  by  the  Chemical  Abstracts  Service.  Although  only  a  small  fraction  of  these  are  active  in  commerce,  newly  developed  chemicals  are  continuously  entering  the  market.  In  the  United  States,  just  more  than  40,000  chemicals  are  in  commercial  production  and  use,  and  the  U.S.  Environmental  Protection  Agency  (EPA)  has  approximately  300  chemicals  awaiting  review  for  market  release  at  any  given  time.  The  full  lifecycle  of  chemicals  from  production  to  eventual  disposal  contains  vulnerabilities  for  accidental  releases  that  can  cause  significant  human  exposure  and  adverse  acute  and  chronic  health  effects.  Additionally,  industrial  processes  release  chemical  byproducts  of  energy  production  and  waste  that  have  the  potential  to  harm  large  populations  around  these  sites  over  long  periods  of  time.
