  1. THE USE OF HPV DATA IN GREEN PURCHASING

  2. Incorporate Hazard/Risk Criteria in Green Procurement • Contract specifications • Voluntary standards • EMS • Supply chain management

  3. Concentration or emission limits, e.g. formaldehyde emission limits from furniture Prohibited hazard characteristics, e.g. no carcinogens, LC50/LD50 must be above x, etc. Low toxicity substitutes Contract Specifications

  4. VOLUNTARY STANDARDS • Voluntary consensus standards developed through ANSI or ISO processes • Encouraged by NTTAA and OMB Circular A-119 • Reference in procurement policy, specifications • Drive market • Example: EPEAT standard (IEEE 1680) for personal computers and monitors

  5. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS • Use chemical hazard/risk data in determining “significant environmental aspects” • Set objectives and targets that address chemical hazards and risks • Develop environmental management programs and operational controls related to purchase and use of chemical products

  6. SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT • Identify chemicals of concern throughout supply chain • Target key product/service areas for improvement • Identify safer substitutes

  7. DATA AND ANALYTICAL NEEDS • Product formulation data – chemical identity and concentration • Hazard data/conclusions • Endpoints of concern • Quantitative estimates, e.g. NOAEL, RfC, MRL • Exposure measures and models • Screening-level risk conclusions – HQ, MOE for typical scenarios

  8. HAZARD DATA/CONCLUSIONS • HPV Information System • EPA IRIS – RfD, RfC, cancer WOE and potency • ATSDR Toxicological Profiles - Minimal Risk Levels • California Acute and Chronic Reference Exposure Levels • P2 Framework/Sustainable Futures

  9. FORMULATION DATA • NIH/NLM Household Products Database • EPA Source Ranking Database • MSDS/Label information • EPA EPP Database (chemicals addressed in standards and specifications) • Federal Green Construction Guide for Specifiers (chemicals addressed in specifications) • DfE Formulator Program • CleanGredientsTM

  10. EXPOSURE DATA AND MODELS • E-FAST: consumer exposure models • -- dermal and inhalation exposures from products • Emission data and standards • -- CA building material emissions • -- GREENGUARD indoor air standards • TSCA Inventory Update Rule • -- Use information at the product category level

  11. RESOURCES • EPA IRIS RfCs, RfDs, cancer potency and WOE • www.epa.gov/iris • ATSDR Tox Profiles, Minimal Risk Levels • www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxpro2.html • California acute and chronic Reference Exposure Levels • www.oehha.ca.gov/air/chronic_rels/ • www.oehha.ca.gov/air/acute_rels/ • NLM Household Products Database • http://householdproducts.nlm.nih.gov • EPA Source Ranking Database • www.epa.gov/oppt/exposure/pubs/srd.htm • EPA EPP Database • http://yosemite1.epa.gov/oppt/eppstand2.nsf
