The Safe & Sustainable Chronicles - Ep. 2 📖🌱 Welcome back to MICHELIN ResiCare’s educational series, helping industry professionals navigate the realities of safer and more sustainable chemistry. For Episode 2, we’re diving into a molecule still central to many thermoset resin systems: #formaldehyde. Under the EU CLP Regulation, formaldehyde’s toxicological profile is defined by three key classifications: - Carcinogen 1B ➡️ Presumed human carcinogen based on strong animal data. - Mutagen Category 2 ➡️ Suspected of causing heritable genetic mutations. - Skin Sensitizer ➡️ Capable of causing allergic skin reactions after repeated exposure. These hazard classifications directly influence industrial risk management, occupational exposure assessments and substitution strategies. 📖🌱 Explore Episode 2: “Understanding Formaldehyde Through European Regulation” in the carousel below. 👉 For a deeper discussion, we’re happy to offer a 15-minute consultation: https://lnkd.in/eujRjeCE   #ResiCare #SaferChemicals #SustainableChemistry
