One Step Closer: California Proposes Safer Consumer Products Regulations

摘要

The California Department of Toxic Substances Control (CDTSC) is one step closer to implementing the state's Green Chemistry Initiative (GCI), which directs regu- lators to evaluate safer alternatives to chemicals that are believed to be toxic. CDTSC's latest plan for implementing the GCI is set out in its proposed Safer Consumer Products Regulations, published on July 27, 2012.These are not "garden variety" chemical regulations that impose a restriction here or there to prevent a perceived risk.
