Several factors must be assessed to determine if a chemical is a suitable substitute including potential hazards, exposure, technical feasibility, and low-budget considerations. After substitutes are proposed, the risks of each substitute are compared to one another and tested until a suitable

If a potential chemical substitute has greater exposure to humans and the environment than the original chemical, the toxicity of increased exposure must be considered. A chemical substitute with less exposure or a similar exposure but lower toxicity is preferred.

The availability of the chemical commercially in the quantities required is noted. A substitution that is more cost-efficient is ideal, but is not always available.
