Presentation of California's Draft Regulations for Safer Consumer Products and their implications for Green Chemistry
Presenter: Jeff Wong, Chief Scientist at the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC)
Date:September 28, 2010
Time: 2:00 eastern/1:00 central/11:00 pacific
Description: Dr. Wong will give an overview of the California Draft Regulations for Safer Consumer Products recently released by DTSC for public comment. These form part of the California Green Chemistry Initiative.
This draft requires action on chemicals in products to happen in three phases. The first is the prioritization process in which DTSC will identify and prioritize chemicals of concern and products that contain them. These priority products will be the subject of the second phase - an alternatives assessment, conducted by manufacturers of these products, to identify safer alternatives. In the third phase, DTSC will impose various regulatory response actions to address any remaining concerns raised by the alternatives selected by manufacturers for implementation, and to move manufacturers toward designing safer products.
