Darbe analizuojama cheminių medžiagų tvarkymo valdymo Lietuvoje problemų sprendimo eiga nuo 1991 iki 2010 metų ir nagrinėjami kai kurie sveikatos ir aplinkos apsaugos politikos aspektai. Lietuvoje po Nepriklausomybės atkūrimo nebuvo cheminių medžiagų tvarkymo sistemos. Pereinamuoju laikotarpiu buvo palikti galioti dokumentai, priimti iki Nepriklausomybės atkūrimo paskelbimo datos, ir jau įsigaliojo nauji dokumentai, patvirtinti nepriklausomos Lietuvos Respublikos valstybės institucijų. Analizuojant nepriklausomos Lietuvos Respublikos cheminių medžiagų valdymo raidą, akivaizdžiai matyti, kad teisė turinio prasme buvo nuolat kintantis procesas ir didžiausi buvo jos esmės pokyčiai. Lietuvoje pagrindinės pavojingų cheminių medžiagų ir preparatų valdymo koordinatorės yra Aplinkos ministerija ir Sveikatos apsaugos ministerija, kadangi šių ministerijų esminė misija yra apsaugoti aplinką ir gyventojų-vartotojų sveikatą nuo galimo kenksmingo cheminių medžiagų poveikio. Cheminių medžiagų valdymo ir tvarkymo Lietuvoje problemų sprendimo eigos pagal įvykimo laiką analizė remiantis oficialiais dokumentais rodo, kad sveikatos ir aplinkos saugos plėtra nagrinėjamoje specifinėje srityje, nuo problemos suformavimo iki jos sprendimo pradžios užtruko apie 10 metų. Darbe pateikiamos ir analizuojamos dvi schemos – Pavojingų cheminių medžiagų valdymo Lietuvoje 2000–2005 m. sistema pagal Cheminių medžiagų ir preparatų įstatymą ir Nuodingųjų medžiagų kontrolės įstatymą, ir Pavojingų cheminių...
