To: iammejtm@gmail.com
EPA today released final risk assessments on three TSCA Work Plan Chemicals -- Methylene Chloride or Dichloromethane (DCM), Antimony Trioxide (ATO), and 1,3,4,6,7,8-Hexahydro-4,6,6,7,8,8,-hexamethylcyclopenta[γ]-2-benzopyran (HHCB).
The ATO risk assessment addresses effects on ecological receptors from the use of antimony trioxide (ATO) as a synergist in halogenated flame retardants. EPA's final risk assessment indicates no concern for this use of ATO.
The HHCB risk assessment addresses ecological risks from HHCB as a fragrance ingredient in commercial and consumer products. EPA's final risk assessment indicates no concern for this use of HHCB.
