What are Some Examples of Successful Substitution?
There are numerous examples of successful substitution of hazardous substances. For instance, many industries have replaced asbestos with safer materials such as fiberglass or cellulose fibers. In the agricultural sector, some harmful pesticides have been substituted with biopesticides that pose fewer risks to human health and the environment. Additionally, the use of phthalates in plastic products has been significantly reduced by switching to safer plasticizers.
