EPA has expanded its Safer Chemicals Ingredients List to include 130 chemicals that had not previously been listed. Of those, 119 are
fragrance chemicals commonly used in commercial and consumer cleaning products.
The list now identifies 602 chemicals that consumers and
companies can use without putting themselves and their workers at significant
risk. The list separates chemicals into 13 categories, including colorants,
enzymes and enzyme stabilizers, oxidants and oxidant stabilizers, polymers, preservatives
and antioxidants, solvents and specialized industrial chemicals.
