ECHA/NA/10/23
News alert
Media enquiries: ECHA Press
ECHA is looking for information on the uses and releases of two substances of very high concern on the Candidate List - 2,4-dinitrotoluene and lead chromate. The information is needed to help ECHA to judge whether they should be recommended as substances which should be subject to authorisation.
Helsinki, 12 May 2010 – ECHA is currently gathering up-to-date information on the actual volumes available on the European market as well as on the uses, releases and exposures for all the substances that were included in the Candidate List in January 2010.
For two of those substances, 2,4 – dinitrotoluene and lead chromate, ECHA has contracted Risk and Policy Analysts Limited (RPA) to collect information on ECHA's behalf.
Questionnaires have been developed and are available for anybody interested in providing information. The deadline for submitting responses is 28 May 2010.
