2 Burden of Environmental & Occupational Cancers Approx. 19% of all cancer deaths attributable to the environment (including work settings) 1.3 million deaths per year Reducing or eliminating exposure is key to prevention Source:
3 How do we reduce or eliminate exposure? The role of law in modifying exposures to tobacco, alcohol and food Affordability Fiscal measures Taxation Pricing Availability Licensing Access Supply (Affordability) Awareness Visibility Advertising Marketing Sponsorship Packaging Tools: Regulation, civil and criminal litigation
4 What to regulate? The environment is all the physical, chemical and biological factors external to the human host, and all related behaviours, but excluding those natural environments that cannot reasonably be modified. Includes: Pollution (chemical or biological agents); UV and ionizing radiation; electromagnetic fields; occupational risks (asbestos); built environment; agricultural methods. Excludes: alcohol and tobacco consumption, diet; genetics. Environmental / occupational cancers: cancers that can be causally linked to factors in the environment / workplace Source: WHO Preventing Disease Through Healthy Environments
5 Role of law in modifying environmental & occupational risk What is the intent of regulation? Ban use (chemicals, agents) Minimise use (chemical pollutants) Safe use (ionising radiation) What is the setting for regulation? Environment Workplaces
6 Role of law in modifying environmental & occupational risk Who or what are the targets of regulation? Product/substance/process Actors: manufacturers, retailers, suppliers, consumers, workplaces How do we respond to uncertainty? In risk, causation, evidence How to respond to inevitable exposure?
7 How do we reduce or eliminate exposure? The role of law in modifying exposures to environmental risks Affordability Fiscal measures Taxation Pricing Availability Licensing Access Supply Awareness Visibility Advertising Marketing Sponsorship Packaging Tools: Regulation, civil and criminal litigation
8 Legal tools Regulation International law: WHO FCTC, international trade and investment law Basel Convention; Rotterdam Convention; ILO Asbestos Convention and others; WTO Domestic law: Range of laws and policies including taxes Civil litigation Master settlement agreement (tobacco) Mass compensation claims for workers in national courts Criminal prosecution Criminal law for alcohol, tobacco? Companies violating occupational health and safety, or environmental protection laws.
9 Regulation Asbestos International law: listed as hazardous waste in the Basel Convention; hazardous chemical in the Rotterdam Convention (with the exception of chrysotile asbestos); ILO Asbestos Convention Bans - full or partial bans Safe handling or disposal Civil litigation/tort law - negligence Mass compensation claims for workers in national courts Criminal prosecution Companies violating occupational health and safety, or environmental protection laws.
10 Ionizing radiation Regulation The harmonization of standards for radiation protection Public policies & legislation, to promote appropriate justification of radiological medical procedures to avoid unnecessary exposures Regulations for occupational radiation protection (e.g., shielding, time and distance to the source, limits for the effective dose in workers) and dosemonitoring systems Litigation?
11 Outdoor air pollution Regulation International treaties Urban planning regulations Emissions controls Industry regulations Litigation?
12 Some concluding thoughts Tools are the same / application different How do we deal with imperfect regulation? Holistic and flexible approach is required - responsive regulation - special protections for at risk occupations
