For the sake of fire safety, flame retardants have been added into many consumer products including our clothing, making them highly ubiquitous. However, several of these flame retardants have been associated with a variety of health risks such as cancers and infertility. Moreover, these compounds can leach out easily. Are the purported fire safety benefits worth it? Comparisons between places with different levels of fire safety regulation in Europe do not seem to think so. The UK and Ireland have highly stringent fire safety legislation, however, this has not necessarily translated into fewer fire-related fatalities and/or fire incidents. In the case of Ireland, many fire-related fatalities were found to happen overnight, when people are normally asleep. Thus, the supposed benefits of slowing down a flame's progression are not really helpful. Also, smoke from items mixed with flame retardants is actually more toxic. So, how then do we proceed with regards to fire safety? Some may say, alternative compounds should be developed. Several have been developed, but these have structural similarities to the substances they are meant to replace, thus they may also have similarities in terms of detrimental health effects. These alternatives also need to be thoroughly evaluated throughout their life cycle so that evidence of potential risks can be discovered sooner, enabling relevant parties to act accordingly. In any case, there need to be meticulous, science-based discussions on improving fire safety while minimizing health and environmental risks. #FlameRetardants #CECs #HealthAndEnvironment #FireSafety

The EPA's announcement to prioritize five toxic chemicals for risk evaluation under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) is a significant step toward advancing the #circulareconomy. By comprehensively studying the safety of these chemicals, the EPA aims to to address environmental and toxic exposures.   One of the five chemicals includes vinyl chloride, which is used in “luxury” vinyl tile (LVT), a type of flooring that is quickly taking over the flooring market and currently has no recycling outlets. Exposure to vinyl chloride may result in a range of health effects such as liver toxicity.   EPA will accept public comments on these chemicals for 90 days after publication at the Regulations page under docket EPA-HQ-OPPT-2023-0601.
