CL:AIRE is delighted to publish the next Phase 2 C4SL report on naphthalene. It can be downloaded directly from the dedicated C4SL web page here.
A short webinar is available to remind people how C4SLs have been derived and the background to the project. People are encouraged to watch the webinar before reading any of the Phase 2 reports.
The C4SL project has been a collaborative industry initiative, and huge thanks must be given to the project team members that are helping on this project. The team is working hard to move more reports forward and get them ready for publication.
