Contaminants of Emerging Concern Strategy (Project)
More than 100,000 chemicals have been registered or approved for commercial use in the US. For many of these chemicals, major information gaps limit evaluations of their potential risks, and environmental monitoring of these chemicals has not been required by regulatory agencies. Nevertheless, researchers and government agencies have begun to collect occurrence, fate, and toxicity data for a number of these chemicals.
Bay RMP Emerging Contaminants Workgroup Meeting (Event)
The RMP's Emerging Contaminants Workgroup will review recent findings and new monitoring proposals on plastic additives like bisphenol A, flame retardants, water- and stain-repelling perfluorochemicals, and pesticides. The workgroup will also discuss plans to revise the RMP's overall strategy for monitoring contaminants of emerging concern (CECs). See the Agenda and Materials for more information.
