The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) will be hosting two public stakeholder meetings related to the implementation of the law that limits the amount of 1,4-dioxane that can be present in household cleansing products.
The first meeting will consist of presentations from NYSDEC, while the second meeting will be focused on soliciting stakeholder feedback.
Revised Risk Evaluation for PV29
In other industry news, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released its revised draft risk evaluation for Pigment Violet 29 (PV29) for public comment and peer review under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).
After issuing the draft risk evaluation in November 2018, the EPA received additional data on PV29 in response to test orders and the sole U.S. manufacturer of PV29 voluntarily submitted additional information to the Agency.
The EPA used this information to revise its draft risk evaluation. The new data led the EPA to revise its analytical approach for evaluating the potential exposure and health effects of the chemical.
As a result of this updated analysis, the revised draft risk evaluation now shows unreasonable risk to workers for 11 out of 14 conditions of use. Because this new data had a significant impact on the EPA’s risk evaluation and, ultimately, the risk determinations, the Agency is giving both the public and independent, scientific experts an opportunity to provide input before the risk evaluation is finalized. The EPA will accept comments for 30 days.
