in relation the the REACH legislation the European Commission have intorduced
"The European Commission has estimated that Reach will cost industry between 2.8bn and 5.2bn euros (between £1.5bn and £3.5bn) over 11 years. Other estimates put the figure as high as 12.8bn euros (£8.6bn).
However, the Commission also calculates that Reach would save Europe 54bn euros (£36bn) over 30 years because fewer people would fall ill as a result of exposure to chemicals. University College London has come up with an even higher figure - 284bn euros (£191bn) over 30 years - by including losses in production. "
