Abstract.
Every year, mankind and the environment are exposed to chemicals. Numerous chemicals may present a risk to health or the environment during production, processing, distribution in commerce, use or end of use.
Through data engineering it is possible to trace chemicals, estimate emissions and identify possible exposure scenarios for the different chemical compounds at the end of life of the industrial processes involved. This mini review identified case studies based on food, pharmaceuticals and N-hexane, concluding that data engineering can help to track chemicals in waste streams generated in industrial activities handled, identifying possible exposure scenarios to a chemical in question.
