English Abstract Although the available data are insufficient for a
sound risk assessment the large differences between exposure levels and
(no-) effect levels justify the conclusion that the risks of the direct
effects of 1,1,1-TCE to humans and ecosystems in the Netherlands are very
limited and do not require further action. In contrast to this, 1,1,1-TCE
contributes to global effects like acidification, greenhouse effects and
effects resulting from ozone layer depletion. First this contribution was
expected to increase isgnificantly as a result of a rise in the 1,1,1-TCE
cconsumption due to replacing CFC's and carbon tetrachloride. However,
recetnly the Montreal Protocol was revised and 1,1,1-TCE is required to be
phased out of use by 2005. It is recommended not to draw up an integrated
criteria document but to focus the attention on measures and procedures to
reduce the emissions in the Netherlands.
