Green Science Policy Institute (GSP) Publishes Article about Major Environmental Achievement

Mon, 12 Jan 2009 10:07:56 GMT

Last year the Green Science Policy Institute, working with a powerful international coalition, stopped the passage of five different unneeded flammability standards that would have required the use of hundreds of millions of pounds of potentially toxic flame retardant chemicals in household electronic products around the world. The rapid sequence of events, from identification of the threat to the health and environment of the entire planet to the strategy that accomplished a success never before attempted at this scale, is a thrilling story that has just been published.

Scientists, Researchers, NGOs, & DCA Lead Electronics Industry to Environmental Victory; The Unnecessary Use of Potentially Toxic Fire Retardants in Household Electronics Enclosures Stopped, for Now

Tue, 06 May 2008 00:01:00 GMT

Dr. Arlene Blum, a visiting scholar in the Chemistry Department at the University of California at Berkeley; Friends of the Earth; Design Chain Associates, LLC; the Center for Environmental Health; the Initiative for Green Science Policy; and a worldwide coalition of scientists, physicians, and NGOs have achieved what was thought to be impossible. A proposed new draft standard by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), IEC 62368 "Audio/Video, Information and Communication Technology Equipment - Safety - Requirements," which could have led to the introduction of hundreds of millions of pounds of potentially toxic fire retardant chemicals into consumers' homes and bodies, has been defeated. Eighteen of the 31 voting countries, or 58%, voted against the IEC draft standard based on new information provided by the coalition. This was far more than the 25% needed to defeat the standard.
