In addition, industry and trade organizations in developing nations (such as the Chemical Industries Association of the Philippines and the Plastics and Chemicals Industries in Australia) can help the CSP coordinate with universities and professional societies in their regions to harmonize safety and security controls.

Avoiding Toxic Components and Potential Hazards Associated with Products and Processes Chemical species used in plastics and rabber industry (including the resin itself) can be released inadvertently, polluting the environment. If some of these in water, air, or food can potentially reach the human con-snmer, the risk is clearly unacceptable. Where conventional designs of products include known hazardous chemicals, it is incumbent npon the indnstry to voluntarily phase ont these and redesign products that are innocuous but functionally eqnivalent ... 

In 2002, the world production of polymers (not including synthetic libers and rubbers) was ca. 190 million metric tons. Of these, the combined production of poly(ethylene terephthalate), low- and high-density polyethyelene, polypropylene, poly(vinyl chloride), polystyrene, and polyurethane was 152.3 milhon metric tons [1]. These synthetic, petroleum-based polymers are used, inter alia, as engineering plastics, for packing, in the construction-, car-, truck- and food-industry. They are chemically very stable, and can be processed by injection molding, and by extrusion from the melt in a variety of forms. These attractive features, however, are associated with two main problems ... 

Toluene as well as the other industrial chemicals occur primarily in apples, oranges and orange juice, bananas, and raisins. It is assumed that the occurrence of benzene, ethylbenzene, toluene, and xylene compounds in these fruit products may be associated with the inactive portion of pesticide formulations or is the result of contacting process equipment. The most frequent occurrence of styrene is in strawberries. This occurrence would be consistent with the ubiquitous plastic wrap or baskets associated with packaging strawberries.
