Thousands of products sold in California are warnings, harsh.
“Use the following products”, “a label” says: “It will expose you to chemicals that cause you to chemicals, childbirth defects or other reproductive damage to the state of California.”
Now new research shows that warnings can work.
A study published on Wednesday in the magazine Environment and technology Many companies, who demanded that California's products about harmful chemicals in the products of California, prevented many companies to use completely.
As it was extracted, companies do not want to sell a product carrying a large cancer warning label, Dr. Megan Schwarzman, a doctor and environmental health scientist in the University of California, Berkeley Public Health and author research.
Companies and “this becomes a great motivator for cases of custody costs and penitectivity costs, as well as” this change, “he said.
Keeps a list of about 900 chemicals causing California, cancer and other health effects. It is also known for the law that recognizes in 1986 Prop 65Products that can expose humilious amounts of harmful amounts of harmful amounts of warning labels.
Saying that critics, warnings are so local, he has long mocked research for stoves, even baked goods, even baked goods, even cooked goods, even cooked goods. However, the latest investigation has found that more companies and warnings are most affected by consumers.
To assess the impact of the law researchers conducted interviews in 32 global manufacturers and retailers who sell clothes, personal care, cleaning, cleaning and household products. About 80 percent of the interviews, 65 said they want them to reform their products.
Companies, any Prop 65 levels of chemicals can reduce the level of those who are below the “safe port” line, they can avoid warning labels.
A similar part of similar companies, which chemicals said they looked at the 65th Part to prevent the Prop. And 63% asked the law to reform them in California.
The American Chemistry Council, which represents chemical producers, did not respond to comment on the case immediately.
There is a law of any other state. 65, 65, which requires such a wide range of products about cancer or reproductive harm, 65. New York has applied a more limited law that requires certain chemicals of producers and use certain chemical use by 2023 . Other states have laws aimed at disclosing items on the labels.
Meanwhile, California is pushing forward. The 2018 variation of 65 PROPs began to draw more special labels. For example, some food and beverage boxes are labels with a chemical that is a chemical that is a chemical to harm the women's reproductive system, “Bisfenol A (BIPENOL”. “
The most recent research is part of a greater effort to analyze the impact of 65 people to the exposure to poisonous chemicals. In A study published last yearIn the Silent Spring Institute and in Berkeley, the researchers decreased in both California and nationwide in California, after the list of certain chemical laws.
This study came with a warning. In some examples, which is reduced by a chemical level in the list, it has increased chemicals, potentially harmful effects. Prop 65 Alternative chemicals does not have a security mechanism.
Dr. Schwarzman said that thousands of chemicals in the market need to be stronger policies at both federal and state levels for the study and regulation of chemicals in the market. “This is greater than what we choose from the individual consumer and the shelf.”
