1,4-dioxane: Draft Batch 7 Media Coverage

There has been fairly thin media coverage of the draft Batch 7 results out of the Chemicals Management Plan (CMP) on September 5th. One exception to this is a Canwest News Service article noting the fact that the draft screening assessment for 1,4-dioxane concluded that the substance was not CEPA-toxic. Manufacturers cannot add 1,4-dioxane as an ingredient in cosmetics or personal care products, but the chemical may be found in trace amounts in these items as a byproduct of the manufacturing process.
