The identification, assessment and control of environmental carcinogens in NSW and Australia

Abstract

Within NSW and Australia, a number of agencies are engaged in a wide range of activities—and in deploying a variety of tools—directed towards controlling and managing exposure to environmental carcinogens in industrial, domestic, and agricultural settings, and in the environment. In 2001, The Cancer Council NSW undertook a mapping exercise to establish ‘who does what’, with respect to the control of environmental carcinogens.
