What is the primary goal of the REACH initiative?

To provide technical assistance to small businesses in chemical safety
To ensure that all drinking water meets health-based standards
To obtain more extensive information on chemicals used within the EU and to regulate these chemicals
To prevent sudden and accidental chemical releases through risk management plans

The correct answer is: To obtain more extensive information on chemicals used within the EU and to regulate these chemicals

The primary goal of the REACH initiative is not to provide technical assistance to small businesses (A) or to ensure the safety of drinking water (B). While it may indirectly contribute to this, it is not the primary goal. The initiative also does not solely focus on regulating chemicals used within the EU (C), as it also aims to promote the safe use of chemicals globally. Lastly, while the REACH initiative does aim to prevent chemical releases through risk management plans (D), this is not its primary goal. The main objective of the REACH initiative is to obtain more extensive information on chemicals and their potential risks in order to better regulate and control their use.
