RIFM Releases Data On Macrocyclic Materials
March 2, 2012
By: TOM BRANNA
Editor
RIFM Releases Data On Macrocyclic Materials At their current volumes of use, macrocyclic fragrance materials do not pose a risk to the environment, according to recent research from Research Institute for Fragrance Materials, Inc. (RIFM). Macrocyclic fragrance materials are widely used in cosmetics, detergents, fabric softeners, cleaning products and other household and personal care products. RIFM also has companion human health papers on these materials currently in press in Food and Chemical Toxicology. The article, “Macrocyclic fragrance materials—A screening-level environmental assessment using chemical categorization”—a highly collaborative effort between RIFM staff, RIFM’s Environmental Adjunct Group and industry colleagues, was published by Elsevier in the journal Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, Volume 74 Issue 6 (September 2011) 1619-1629. The full peer-reviewed article is available from the Publications or The RIFM Environmental Program sections of RIFM’s website at www.rifm.org. SOCMA Launches Online Directory The Society of Chemical Manufacturers and Affiliates (SOCMA) today launched an online chemical services directory and networking tool, modernizing the way chemical companies market their products and find new business. SOCMA’s Marketplace and Chemical Services Directory allows users to search a vast network of chemical companies based on more than 400 different types of reactions and chemistries. Users can further narrow their search by choosing from more than 200 various capabilities and services, as well as equipment and markets served.

According to Cathcart, as 2011 came to a close, there was a push in the US Senate to modernize the Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976 as set forth in the Safe Chemicals Act of 2011 (S. 847), introduced by Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ). CSPA provided input on relevant provisions of the bill in testimony presented at the Nov. 17 hearing before the Senate Committee on the Environment and Public Works and the Subcommittee on Superfund, Toxics and Environmental Health. “Despite our concerns with S. 847, we welcomed the opportunity to present testimony before the Senate to showcase our commitment to engage with all stakeholders in an effort to advance a more modern TSCA,” said Cathcart. This has been particularly evident through the work we have done on chemical exposure and use.” He said that CSPA had undertaken a significant amount of work to determine how industry can provide the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) chemical exposure and use data. Furthermore, CSPA took these ideas to the EPA and NGO community in an attempt to find common ground and was pleased to have the opportunity at the hearing to explain that work. “We also stressed the need for companies to have the reassurance that their investment in green chemistry and innovation to develop more sustainable products is protected from their competitors,” said Cathcart. He said that strong protections for confidential business information as part of TSCA will not only assure that this information is provided to the EPA but, in combination with a meaningful risk-based process for prioritization of chemicals, will also serve to encourage and support innovation. He noted that several CSPA member companies have received the US Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award. Cathcart insisted that CSPA remains committed to supporting a unified industry through its participation in the American Alliance for Innovation. “Already, a handful of states are attempting to craft their own chemical regulatory schemes and we expect to see this trend continue throughout 2012. A patchwork of state laws is unworkable for our industry coalition groups,” he insisted. “With bipartisan support, we can work through the many details to arrive at a modern TSCA,” he concluded.
