Why should we trust any science coming from the chemical industry, and especially from Dow?
Chemicals are among the most thoroughly evaluated and regulated materials in commerce. Chemicals are developed, manufactured, distributed and used under a strict and comprehensive set of government rules. Dow takes very seriously its responsibility to protect people and the environment throughout the life cycle of our products, from manufacturing to disposal/recycle. Commitment to this responsibility is evident in our 2015 Sustainability Goals. That commitment includes conducting research, modeling and laboratory studies to fulfill both product stewardship responsibilities (as outlined in the industry principles of Responsible Care®) as well as voluntary goals and objectives that enhance product safety. The research, modeling and testing conducted by our scientists provides required information for risk assessments to ensure that our chemical products can be used safely. This information is obtained in a manner which complies with international and local regulatory requirements further
