To monitor the impacts on humans and the environment, including the climate, of exposure to chemicals and to establish a knowledge base to measure the effectiveness of chemicals legislation in protecting human health and the environment, the EEA and the ECHA should jointly, in collaboration with the EFSA, the EMA, EU-OSHA and the Commission, develop and regularly update, at least every two years, a framework of indicators and present it in the form of a dashboard. The framework of indicators should, where meaningful and to the extent possible, include an aggregated territory-based risk indicator at appropriate geographical levels to monitor time and spatial trends in the exposure of populations to chemicals, and health risks associated with such exposure. The EFSA, the EMA, EU-OSHA and the Commission should regularly provide the EEA with any available data falling within their mandate and relevant for the establishment of the indicators. The EEA and the ECHA should incorporate the dashboard of indicators into the common data platform.
