Text of the page (random words):
altic sea and the arctic ocean on top of mountains and under the sea they are fat seeking this causes them to magnify up the food chain increasing in concentration at each successively higher level once pbde s are released into the environment they invariably find their way into humans including pregnant women where they pass to the developing fetus in utero or through the breast milk to the nursing infant as evidence of fetal exposure the infant at birth has levels of pbde s that are up to 25 of maternal levels and researchers have found that children s pbde levels are about 2 8 times higher than their mothers research in animals shows that exposure to brominated fire retardants in utero or during infancy leads to more significant harm than exposure during adulthood and much lower levels of pbdes are needed to cause harm to infants and children than to adults they are endocrine disruptors many of the known health effects of pbdes are thought to stem from their ability to disrupt the body s thyroid hormone balance which plays an essential role in brain development laboratory animals showed deficits in learning and memory with exposure to pbde s studies of mice showed that a single exposure to pbdes caused permanent behavioral aberrations that worsened as the mice got older one study for instance found that women whose levels of t4 measured in the lowest 10 percent of the population during the first trimester of pregnancy were more than 2 5 times as likely to have a child with an iq of less than 85 in the lowest 20 percent of the range of iqs and five times as likely to have a child with an iq of less than 70 meeting the diagnosis of mild retardation personal choices can make a difference buying furniture fabric cell phones or computers made without pbdes is definitely a vote for a non toxic future but personal choices can only go so far and the crisis is great pbdes like other contaminant issues are at least as much a social as a personal issue and challenge you can help your kids not only with your buying habits but also by modeling social action for environmental change and by campaigning for a non toxic future the kind of future where mother s milk will regain its purity the environmental protection agency epa controls chemicals partially through use of the toxic substances control act of 1976 which was amended in 2016 although the law contains the words toxic substances the tsca law does not separate chemicals into categories of toxic and non toxic in fact of the 60 000 chemicals in use in the usa in 1976 the year of the passing of the law all were grandfathered in as safe to use these are known as existing chemicals we assume the tsca is testing and regulating chemicals used in the industry it is not of the more than 60 000 existing chemicals in use prior to 1976 most were grandfathered in only 263 had been tested for safety and only 5 were restricted today over 80 000 chemicals are routinely used in industry and the number which have been tested for safety in tests required by the epa has not materially changed since 1976 so we cannot know the risks of exposing ourselves to certain chemicals the default position is that no information about a chemical no action thank goodness for the european union the great progress in the past two decades in determining toxicity and safety of many chemicals is due to their action the chemical spill which occurred in west virginia in 2014 was of crude mchm or 4 methylcyclohexanemethanol one of the chemicals that was grandfathered into the toxic substances control act of 1976 that means that nobody knows for sure what that chemical can do to us carcinogenic effects no information available mutagenic effects no information available developmental toxicity no information available lack of information is the reason the local and federal authorities were so unsure of how to advise the local population about their drinking water supplies and by the way in january 2014 a federal lawsuit was filed in charleston wv which claims that the manufacturer of mchm hid highly toxic and carcinogenic properties of components of mchm hexane and methanol both of which have been tested and found to cause diseases such as cancer i found claims he epa has been successful in restricting only nine chemicals of the 60 000 that were grandfathered in as permissible existing chemicals pcbs chlorofluorocarbons dioxin asbestos and hexavalent chromium in its 38 year history with the ban on asbestos being overturned in 1991 until 2016 none of those chemicals were required to be tested for safety the 2016 revision of the law requires some existing chemicals to be tested for safety and gives deadlines for the evaluation the first ten chemicals to be assessed as specifically required by the 2016 revisions are asbestos 1 bromopropane carbon tetrachloride 1 4 dioxane cyclic aliphatic bromide cluster hbcd methylene chloride n methylpyrrolidone perchloroethylene pigment violet 29 trichloroethylene but don t hold your breath take one of the above list methylene chloride the epa assessed it beginning in 2014 and proposed a ban at least from paint removers in 2017 stating that the chemical posed unnecessary risks to people the european union had taken this step in 2011 the epa keeps delaying the ban and has weakened it by removing one of 2 toxic chemicals in the proposed ban to just one slate has an informative account of the current issue a chemical in paint remover is a known killer why won t the epa ban it in which you can get a taste of the many years the epa can delay an action or change one even after announcing and committing to it https slate com technology 2018 03 will the epa ban methylene chloride html the environmental defense fund has a good blog whose almost every entry is a repudiation of what fabricsellera claims about american manufacture of products being safe because of the federal government the edf has an interesting story about pcb s which congress specifically outlawed in 1979 and how action and inaction by the epa has allowed variants of pcbs to be still used and sold in the us now even after the 2016 tsca revisions http blogs edf org health 2018 09 28 have we learned anything in the last 4 decades when it comes to allowing chemicals like pcbs onto the market more 8177 we assume that the tsca requires manufacturers to demonstrate that their chemicals are safe before they go into use it does not the epa requires a premanufacture notification of a new chemical and no data of any kind is required the epa receives between 40 50 each week and 8 out of 10 are approved with or without test data with no restrictions on their proposed use as 3m puts it on their pmn forms posted on epa s web site you are not required to submit the listed test data if you do not have it the tsca says the government has to prove actual harm caused by the chemical in question before any controls can be put in place the catch 22 is that chemical companies don t have to develop toxicity data or submit it to the epa for an existing product unless the agency finds out that it will pose a risk to humans or the environment which is difficult to do if there is no data in the first place lack of evidence of harm is taken as evidence of no harm we assume that manufacturers must list all ingredients in a product so if we have an allergy or reaction to certain chemicals we can check to see if the product is free of those chemicals it does not the tsca allows chemical manufacturers to keep ingredients in some products secret nearly 20 of the 80 000 chemicals in use today are considered trade secrets this makes it impossible for consumers to find out what s actually in a product and there is no time limit on the period in which a chemical can be considered a trade secret these limitations all help to perpetuate the chemical industry s failure to innovate toward safer chemical and product design it s one of the reasons the usa is one of the few nations in the world in which asbestos is not banned the epa has issued regulations to control only 9 chemicals since the enactment of tsca and the epa has assessed the risks of only about 2 of the chemicals in use on june 22 2016 president obama signed the bill that reforms the toxic substances control act it was widely agreed that the tsca is not doing the job of protecting us and that the united states is in need of profound change in this area the chemicals market values function price and performance over safety which poses a barrier to the scientific and commercial success of green chemistry in the united states and could ultimately hinder the u s chemical industry s competitiveness in the global marketplace as green technologies accelerate under the european union s requirements we presumably would have an epa with a mandate to review all chemicals in commerce the authority to readily get the data it needs and the resources required to execute the kind of comprehensive prioritization scheme acc proposes so far the improvements in the 2016 revision have not resulted in any safety testing being accomplished but rather the establishment of a horrendous bureaucracy for evaluation which chemicals need to be evaluated after the first 30 which were mandated we cover above the chemicals outlawed in various products by us regulators there are not many and most are not regulated in the end usage of fabric at all here are the requirements for fabrics mostly applying to children section 101 a of the cpsia restricts children s products including children s apparel and sleepwear to a lead content limit of 100 parts per million ppm in addition the use of paint or similar surface coating on children s apparel and sleepwear must not exceed a lead content limit of 90 ppm that compares to the oeko tex 100andgots global organic textile standard requirement that the lead content be 2 ppm section 108 of cpsia states that children s toys and child care articles cannot contain more that 0 1 of six phthalates dehp dbp bbp limits are applicable to both toys and child care items while dinp didp and dnop limits are applicable only to toys that can be placed in the mouth and are intended for children 3 and younger although children s clothing does not need to be certified to this requirement children s sleepwear or bibs child care article intended for children age 3 years or younger and any children s textile product that is intended for use in play toy must be certified to the phthalates requirements in comparison to oeko tex 100 and gots all phthalates are prohibited textiles used in apparel must meet class 1 or 2 flammability requirements children s sleepwear must be flame resistant and self extinguish when exposed to a small ignition source the rules cover all children s sleepwear between size 9 months and size 14 the fabric seams trim and garments must pass certain flammability tests or the garment must be tight fitting as defined by specified dimensions see our blog post on flame retardants published in may 2013 but this rule means that toxic chemicals are often added to children s sleepwear not kept out of it what does this mean it means that the united states has basically no protection for consumers in terms of textiles so i have many bones to pick with fabricsellera who ignores the weak protections that the federal government provides to protect us from the real safety issues from fabric production and chemicals residual in the fabric that is everywhere around us the united states has precious few protections for consumers or for workers regarding fabric safety issues while oeko tex does an excellent job of protecting consumers of fabric though not workers the unabridged post from fabricsellera fabricsellera consumers are savvy consumers we often receive inquiries from our customers asking if fabricsellera fabrics are oeko tex certified they are not oeko tex certified and here s why this is a good thing oeko tex is an international association headquartered in europe comprised of independent research and test laboratories focused on the textile industry which certifies that fabrics meet safety standards for consumer use oeko tex 100 is the organization s global testing and certification program that ensures textile products are tested for more than 300 harmful chemicals it s often difficult for resellers of fabrics made in china india or other countries to discern how the fabrics are being made and what chemicals are being used in their manufacture that s why it s important that the fabrics they sell have an oeko tex certificate or equivalent this indicates that the fabrics meet strict health and safety standards and are safe to use for the benefit of consumers there is an online directory that lists all products companies and brands that are oeko tex certified while oeko tex certification is a stringent process many of the requirements for this certification are not applicable to our american made products that s why fabricsellera fabrics are not oeko tex certified because our fabrics are made right here in the usa we adhere to the even more demanding american health and safety standards and ensure that no harmful chemicals are used in the production of our fabrics in the united states all the fabric manufacturers including fabricsellera produce their fabrics under the safety guidelines and regulations set forth by several government agencies these agencies include the consumer product safety commission cpsc the occupational health and safety administration osha and the environmental protection agency epa the cpsc is the agency that regulates the sale and manufacture of consumer products and ultimately certifies a fabric as compliant and approved for sale in the united states in accordance with the consumer product safety improvement act cpsia the cpsia compliance certification ensures that the products you use every day have met the most stringent comprehensive american health and safety standards fabrics made or sold in america must not only meet cpsia requirements but manufacturing must comply with epa osha and other regulations which makes them even more rigorous than the oeko tex test criteria this is why oeko tex certification is not required in the united states these strict measures guarantee the highest levels of safety not only for the consumers who use the fabrics but also for the health and safety of those who make them and environmental protection in addition to fabricsellera s ongoing mission and commitment to bringing you safe high quality products for your use our fabrics are of course cpsia compliant they meet the highest standards of health and safety in the world end post 1 on average 78 of the weight of a fabric is the fiber it purports to be and 22 is residual chemicals w baumann k lacasse textile chemicals
