Summary: |
Admistrative Order on Consent, issued by US EPA Under the authority of §5(e) of the Toxic Substances Control Act ('TSCA") (15 U.S.C.2604(e)) issued to the importer of certain "multiwalled carbon nano tubes" "MWCNT". It does not apply to all MWCNT. The Order was issued in connection with the Agency's review of premanufacture notice ("PMN") P-08-0177 for the substance by the importer. One is required by §5 of TSCA to subhmit a PMN to USEPA no less than 90 days prior to importing or manufacturing a "new" chemical substance -- one not listed on the TSCA Inventory of chemical substances in commerce. 40 CFR Part 720.
The AOC requires the Importer to: (1) conduct a 90-day inhalation toxicity study in rats with a post exposure observation period of up to 3 months including ("BALF") analysis before manufacturing or importing more than a specified amount of the material; (2) to use gloves impervious to nanoscale particles and chemical protective clothing; (3) to require workers to use a NIOSH-approved full-face respirator with an N -100 cartridge while exposed by inhalation in the work area; (4) to use the PMN substance only as a property modifier in electronic applications or in polymer composites; and (5) to distribute the PMN substance only to persons who agree to follow the same restrictions (except the testing requirements).
The Order was modified in August 2009 to prohibit |

Summary: |
The Nanoscale Materials Stewardship Program (NMSP) is a voluntary program for the reporting of available information regarding engineered nanoscale materials. This document is an interim report describing the progress and effectiveness of the NMSP thus far. It describes the types of data made available to the EPA through members in the Program and its role in shaping future legislation. Most data collected thus far has concerned physical properties, use, and manufacturing processes. Voluntary reporting of toxicity and other human risk factors has been low, however the NMSP has effectively informed the EPA about the structure of reporting information on nanoscale materials and of policy issues that must be addressed. |
