Title: Toxics Release Inventory Addition of Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) | |
Abstract: The EPA is evaluating whether to add hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) to the list of chemicals reportable under section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (i.e., the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI)). HBCD is a brominated flame retardant found world-wide in the environment and wildlife. Human exposure is evidenced from its presence in breast milk, adipose tissue and blood. It bioaccumulates and biomagnifies in the food chain. It persists and is transported long distances in the environment, and is highly toxic to aquatic organisms. HBCD is also of concern for certain chronic human health effects. The EPA has developed an Action Plan to address concerns for releases of HBCD to the environment. The Action Plan includes the initiation of rulemaking to add HBCD to the TRI. | |
