It aims to collect any new scientific information following the 2017 SCOEL scientific assessments to assess the possibility of modifying the Carcinogens and Mutagens Directive to include provisions relating to the combination of a professional exposure limit in the air and a biological limit value .

ASBESTOS
It aims to collect scientific assessments on the application of the limit value currently established by Directive 2009/148 / EC (implemented in Italy in Legislative Decree 81/08, Title IX, Chapter III) to assess its appropriateness and possibly see him again.
The two calls for comments and evidences will close on Tuesday 2 June 2020.
