One of the action points that have been formulated in the Netherlands` first Environmental Policy Plan was the development, in co-operation with industry, of a system for the rapid screening of potential risks of chemicals. In the ``Uniform System for Evaluation of Substances`` (USES 1.0) project different methods for assessment of risks to man and environment that had been developed for new and existing substances and pesticides have been integrated and harmonized.
