Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC)

Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) are substances that are dangerous to humans and the environment because, for example, they are carcinogenic, hinder reproduction or accumulate in the food chain. Under 'What does the government do' you can find out what the government is doing to keep these substances out of the living environment as much as possible. The SVHC list of the RIVM contains all SVHC substances.
