Summary:// ABSTRACT IN ENGLISH: Even as cases of chronic illnesses and environmental pollution are proliferating around the world, notably in Europe, REACH is still the best tool for regulating how chemicals are used. Despite the important advances made thanks to it, this regulation has several shortcomings, not to mention the delays in implementing it. A little more effort is needed to make REACH the best tool for fighting against chemical pollution and a driving force in sustainable innovation. // ABSTRACT IN FRENCH: Alors que les maladies chroniques et les contaminations de l'environnement explosent à travers le monde notamment en Europe, REACH peut être le bon outil pour réguler l'utilisation des substances chimiques. Cependant, même si ce dispositif comporte d'importantes avancées, nombre de lacunes et de retards dans sa mise en oeuvre demeurent. Alors, encore un effort pour faire de REACH un outil efficace de lutte contre la pollution chimique et l'un des moteurs de l'innovation durable.
