Common challenges include moisture, oil, chemical and abrasion resistance, and non-halogen or low smoke. In response to these potential crises, sensors enabled by 5G can detect unsafe chemicals in water, help in identifying and managing leaks in water lines, and pro-actively notify authorities about possible risks. 5G can provide people with better tools to monitor and improve air quality. This Charter’s aim is to highlight chemical producers’ commitment to continuous improvement in the areas of environmental, health & safety, product safety, and security.
