| Abstract |
The substitution of undesirable solvents with less dangerous products or processes is often the most suitable method from the standpoints of occupational safety and health and environmental protection. This study surveyed the available methods and software used to compare solvents by taking into account health, safety, environmental and technical aspects of a substitution project. Thirteen tools are described and discussed, together with several auxiliary tools used for estimating missing physico-chemical, environmental or toxicological data. |
