Title: Cadmium; Health and Safety Data Reporting Under TSCA Section 8(d) | |
Abstract: On August 30, 2010, EPA granted a request from the Sierra Club to use section 8(d) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to require producers, importers, and processors of cadmium and cadmium compounds to submit to EPA lists or copies of ongoing and completed unpublished health and safety studies concerning cadmium and cadmium compounds that are reasonably likely to be incorporated into consumer products. Sierra Club made this request May 28, 2010, through a citizen's petition filed under TSCA section 21. The petition also asked that the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) take certain actions, including the establishment of standards restricting cadmium in children's products, especially metal jewelry. The health and safety studies that EPA would require under this rule would be used to help determine if a potential hazard exists from cadmium or cadmium compounds and whether a product should be banned as a hazardous substance under guidelines established by CPSC. | |
