I could not do the article justice since the political endeavors to trump REACH by US industries, ambassadors and Bush representatives are too involved, and frankly too interesting, for a quick synopsis. However, those efforts did not work and the world is beginning to recognize the dangers of everyday chemical contact and how pervasive they are, especially here in the US (and ofcourse China). You do yourself a disservice by not reading it if you are infact interested in knowing more. If you are just being contrary, I would be wasting my time.
