      • The International Programme on Chemical Safety (IPCS) was formed in 1980 and is a collaboration between three United Nations bodies, the World Health Organization, the International Labour Organization and the United Nations Environment Programme, to establish a scientific basis for safe use of chemicals and to strengthen national capabilities and capacities for chemical safety.
      A related joint project with the same aim, IPCS INCHEM, is a collaboration between IPCS and the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS).
      The IPCS identifies the following as "chemicals of major public health concern":

      Air pollution
      Arsenic
      Asbestos
      Benzene
      Cadmium
      Dioxin and dioxin-like substances
      Inadequate or excess fluoride
      Lead
      Mercury
      Highly hazardous pesticides
