Chemical production volumes in the EU. Percent variation of aggregated production volumes, in million tons, of chemicals over years 2004–2016 in the EU. Chemicals were broken down into five toxicity classes and non-hazardous chemicals: carcinogenic, mutagenic and toxic to reproduction (CMR) chemicals; chronic toxic chemicals; very toxic chemicals; toxic chemicals; harmful chemicals and non-hazardous. These classes are derived from the risk phrases assigned to individual substances in Annex 6 of the Dangerous Substances Directive (amended in 2011), and adapted to the CLP most recent classification (EU Report, 2016). Data were elaborated from Eurostat (http://Ec.Europa.Eu/Eurostat/Web/Main/Home): as from 30/01/2018.
