New software to give transparency to chemical approval process

HazEL is in the press today as a “new software tool will help regulators and manufacturers make sense of chemical data faster and assist them when deciding what chemicals are better for the environment and people, says a Kiwi startup.

Hazel, an internet based tool developed by Kate Bromfield, chief executive and founder of Hazard Evaluation, can access data on 10,000 chemicals, compare them to each other, and visually display findings about their toxicity in an easy-to-understand manner. ”The tool addresses the problem of knowing what chemicals one should worry about,” Bromfield said.”

You can read the whole article here. Our only note is that the database may hold ~10,000 chemicals right now, but it’s ever growing, and the framework has been developed to hold many more than that.
