California seeks comments on TDCPP, TCEP
The California regulatory authorities have invited public comments on proposals to add the additive chlorinated flame retardants TDCPP and TCEP to the list of Priority Products for use in foam-padded sleeping products for children.
Published documents indicate that these products have been used to replace banned brominated flame retardants (PBDEs) and refer to a range of possible health hazards, presence in human biomonitoring and in household dusts and in the environment. Comment is invited until 29th August 2016.
