Abstract: Chemicals no doubt have variety of uses and play key roles in the economy of a nation. While most people agree that chemicals are useful to man, there is consensus that chemicals – especially toxic chemicals equally pose grave danger to mankind and the environment he lives. There is therefore, a great need for the control of these chemicals. Different approaches have been adopted – both domestic and international. This article examines the effectiveness of these approaches.
