Patterns of distribution and customer identification are difficult to obtain from public information. The information used in this chapter comes primarily from the Cefic European Chemical Industry Council and ACC reports. As mentioned earlier, in terms of regional sales of chemicals (Figure 1-1), Asia (other than Japan) accounts for the largest share 30.4 percent of 1.82 trillion total world chemical sales in 2007.

In 2002, the European Exposure Factors (ExpoFacts) database started as a 2-year project funded by CEFIC-LRI (European Chemical Industry Council, Long Range Research Initiative) to create a European database of factors affecting exposure to environmental contaminants. The aim was to create a public access data source, similar to the US-EPA Exposure Factors Handbook (US-EPA 1997), which has been widely used by European researchers, but with European data. Since 2006, the project is hosted by the European Commission s Joint Research Centre (JRC 2007).

Many resources were used to compile the information in this book. The hazardous chemicals listed here are taken from Sittig, 4th Edition. For a few chemicals in Sittig, their makers are not listed, perhaps because they are made in such limited quantities that they are sold through specialty middlemen and catalog houses. The primary resources for preparing the list of manufacturers in this book were (1) the Web sites of the companies, (2) membership in special sections of United States chemical societies, the European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC) and societies in India, Japan, Asia, Italy and elsewhere, and (3) sites in which companies register themselves as producers of particular products, such as the Thomas Directories in the U.S. and Europe, the American Chemical Society ChemCyclopedia, and the British Chemical Industries Association Chemextra. Direct access to these sites are quickly available to any Internet user. They are listed in Section VII - Hotlines, Databases and Useful Web Sites. 

These two aspects are also reflected in the visions developed on this issue in the United States in the so-called Vision 2020 program (see Appendix 1). One can see that all aspects of introducing step-by-step changes are mentioned. And in the European Union many current activities are based on the topic of process intensification, reflected, for example, in the European-Supported Research Projects (see Appendix 2). On the industrial side, a lot of effort is being given to the topic of process intensification the European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC) has process intensification as one of its technology focus points in the so-called SUSTECH program (see Appendix 3). 

Compared with other major European countries and the USA, the chemical industry in Germany has the best image. This is verified by the figures of the Pan-European Surveys carried out by the European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC) since 1994 (Fig. 27.9).
