“Eleven Reasons Why My Family
Continually Forgets What I Look Like”
Current Aerosol Issues • Air Quality • Greenhouse Gas Reductions • TSCA Activities • Green Chemistry • Health Issues • Ingredient Communication • Design for the Environment • International Harmonization • Plastic Aerosol Containers • Aerosol Can Recycling • Aerosol Public Relations
CARB 2010 Amendments 15-Day Notice Negotiations in 2011
• Revised Specialty Lubricants Definitions and Limits
• Negotiations Completed in March/April
• Most Restrictive Limit Language Revision • Negotiations Completed in March/April • Avoided Adverse Proposal to Treat
Antimicrobial Cleaning Products to Disinfectant/Sanitizer Limits
• 15-Day Notice/CSPA Comments in July • Office of Administrative Law Approval
Expected in December
Other CSPA/CARB 2011 Activities • 2011/2012 Amendments
– Aerosol Coatings/ Aerosol Adhesives Survey • Preliminary Draft Data Summaries in September
– 3-13 tons/day needed • VOC Emissions Inventory Update
– Include new survey data – CSPA will review and comment
• New Regulatory Alternatives – CSPA AQC Task Force – Enhancements to ACP may be needed
CARB’s 2011 Staff Re-Organization
• Moved from CARB Stationary Source Division (SSD) to Planning & Technical Support Division (PTSD)
• New Consumer Products and New Strategies Branch
• Purpose: New Strategies for CPs • Carla Takemoto Promoted to Branch Chief • Fewer Staff Now Assigned • PTSD Handles SIP Revisions/Strategies
CSPA Alternative Regulatory Strategies Initiative
• CSPA has been promoting new conceptual alternatives to further VOC regulations for more than a decade
• Key Meetings with CARB Staff in 2010 • CSPA AQC Regulatory Alternatives Task Force (RATF)
formed in late 2010 • RATF Meetings in May-August 2011 to refine ideas • Met with new CARB Branch staff in August 2011 to
promote enhancing the Alternative Control Plan regulation to provide voluntary reductions
EPA Ozone Standard Revisions
• EPA Revised in 2008 But Never Implemented – 84 ppb to 75 ppb
• EPA Began Revisiting Standard in 2010 – Proposed 60 ppb – 70 ppb Range for New Standard – CSPA Urged Retaining and Implementing 75 ppb Standard
• EPA Continued to Revisit Standard in 2011 – Major Industry Resistance – CSPA Responded to Congress Request for Position
• Obama Decision in August 2011 to Defer Revision Until 2013 – No Announcement Yet on Implementation of 75 ppb
California Greenhouse Gas Reductions • California AB 32 Law 2006 • Early Action Measures -2008
– Aerosol Dusters and Automotive Air Conditioners
• 2009 –Aerosol Air Fresheners – Prohibits use of compounds with GWP value ≥ 150
• 2010 Amendments – Flying Bug Insecticide – Aerosol – Furniture Maintenance Product – Aerosol – Metal Polish / Cleaner - Aerosol – Oven or Grill Cleaner - Aerosol – Special-Purpose Lubricants – Aerosol – Spot Removers (Dry Clean Only) – Aerosol – Wasp or Hornet Insecticide – Aerosol
• 2011/2012 Amendments?
California Environmental Protection Agency
Federal TSCA Reform
• Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976 • Congressional Hearings in 2010-11 • CSPA Chemicals Management Policy
Team • CSPA Leading a Broad Coalition • Safe Chemicals Act of 2011
– Senator Lautenberg – CSPA Leading Downstream Coalition
EPA TSCA Activities • Chemical Action Plans
– 12 Announced in April 2011 – BPA, Benzidine Dyes, HBCD, PFCs, MDI – NPEs, Phthalates, 3 PBDFs, SCCPs, TDI – More Are Planned
• EPA Draft Two-Step Process for Identifying Priority Chemicals – Issued August 2011 – CSPA Downstream Coalition Comments
Green Chemistry Initiatives
• Many States Are Seeking to Establish Their Own Chemicals Management Programs
• Often Use “Green Chemistry” and/or “Children’s Health”
• States Developing Programs – California – Washington State – Minnesota – Maine
California Green Chemistry
• 2008 California Green Chemistry Legislation – CSPA Negotiated Acceptable Provisions – Helped form Green Chemistry Alliance – DTSC Formed Green Ribbon Science Panel (GRSP)
• California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) Straw Man Proposal in 2009 – Not Even Close to Acceptable to Anyone!
• DTSC Proposed and Adopted “Regulation for Safer Consumer Products” in 2010 – Alternatives Assessments Required for Targeted
Chemicals and Products – Marginally Acceptable for Industry – Not Acceptable to NGOs
DTSC Regulation for Safer Consumer Products
• Numerous GRSP Meetings in 2011 • Green Chemistry Alliance Efforts Continue • New Alternatives Analysis Industry Coalition • Industry Alternatives Assessment Symposium in
September in Sacramento • New Draft Final Rule Planned Late-October • New Proposed Rule and Final Rule in 2012 • NGO Goal: Hazard-Based Regulatory
Requirements to Control or Eliminate Specific Chemical Uses
• CSPA Goal: Risk-Based Process to Allow Cost-Effective Assessments to Defend Safe Uses
Health and Safety Issues • CPSC Consumer Product Safety
Information Database
• EPA Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program
• California Biomonitoring
• Asthma Causation
CPSC Consumer Product Safety Information Database • Consumer Product Safety
Improvement Act of 2009 • Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC) • Consumer Product Incident
Database • SaferProducts.gov went Live
on March 11th
EPA Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program
Biggest Challenges from EDSP • High Costs of Tier 1 Testing ($500,000+) • Inert Ingredient Suppliers “Opting Out” • EPA Does Not Know How to Interpret Tests • NGOs Will Interpret Results and Disparage Chemicals • Tier 2 Tests (Chronic Reproductive, etc) Could Cost
Many $ Millions More • EPA Proposing 124 (Drinking Water and Pesticide)
Chemicals for Test Orders Later in 2011
California Biomonitoring
• Chemicals in Brood/Urine • Can Provide Useful Exposure Information • CDC Biomonitoring Program • California Planning Own Program • Will Not be Statistically Designed • Plan to Share Results with Individuals • Largely Political and Public Relations
Game - Not Public Health Oriented
Asthma Causation • Known Causes: Mostly Bioallergens
• Suspected Causes: Chemicals? • Aerosol Particles/ Gas-Phase Irritants? • CSPA Working with Public Health Forum • PHF-Sponsored Asthma Science Forum
– May 10, 2011, Old Town Alexandria, VA – Industry Representatives (CSPA/ACC/ACI/etc.) – Experts in Asthma Causation – Identify Known Causes and Data Gaps
Ingredient Communication • 2007-2010: California Legislation • 2009-2010: Federal Legislation • 2009 and Continuing: Voluntary Industry Initiative
– CSPA / CCSPA / ACI Voluntary Ingredient Communication Program – CSPA Consumer Product Ingredient Dictionary
• 2010-2011: New York State Regulation • 2010-2011: EPA Design for the Environment • 20010-2011: EPA Pilot on Antimicrobial Pesticides • 2009-2011: Negotiations with NGOs

Technical Names Defined • Valuable Reference for R&D
– VOC Status for All Ingredients
EPA Design for the Environment
• U.S. EPA Product Certification Program • CSPA APD DfE Committee • DfE Cleaning Products Criteria • “Continuous Delivery Systems”
– Small Particles – Propellants
• Ingredient Communication • Product Efficacy Testing • CSPA Long-Term Goal: Expand Acceptance of
Aerosols
EPA Design for the Environment Activities for 2011-2012
• Met with EPA DfE Staff in May 2011 to Discuss Options
• Need to Have Propellants Treated Same as Solvents
• Get Marketers to Develop Specific Examples
• Provide Evidence for Change in Cleaning Product Criteria
International Affairs
• International Liaison Committee – September in Sao Paulo, Brazil
• Globally Harmonized System (GHS) – Physical Hazards and Health Hazards – USA Implementation of GHS
• CSPA/FEA Container Harmonization – Efforts Restarted in 2011
Joint CSPA/FEA Container Harmonization Workgroup

Aerosol Public Relations Issues
• Very Effective New CAPCO and ACE Initiatives – Positive Messages, Effective Use of Websites and Social Media
• Early 2011 E-Mail Discussions in Aerosol Products Division • CSPA APD Member Survey on Aerosol PR Terminology
– “No-CFCs” “Aerosol” “Propellant” “Hydrocarbon” vs. – “Recyclable” “Continuous Delivery” “Pressurant” “Natural Gas Liquid”
• CSPA Mid-Year Meeting Division Program in May – Consensus Reached on Need for Positive Messages and Terminology
• Regional Aerosol Coordinating Committee – Met at CSPA in May and WAIB in September
Aerosol Public Relations Issues
Consensus Appears to be Forming! • Positive Messaging • Positive Terminology • Cost-Effective and Innovative
Use of Web and Social Media • Synergetic Coordination
Between Aerosol Industry Groups
• Effective Outside Partnering
