DecaBDE Study.
By January 2, 2006, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, shall submit to the General Assembly and the Governor a report that reviews the latest available scientific research to address the following issues:
(1) whether decaBDE is bio‑accumulating in humans and
| the environment, and if so, whether the levels of decaBDE are increasing, decreasing, or staying the same; | |
(2) how are humans exposed to decaBDE;
(3) what health effects could result from exposure to |
| decaBDE, and are current levels of exposure at levels that could produce these effects; | |
(4) whether decaBDE breaks down into more harmful |
| chemicals that could damage public health; and | |
(5) whether effective flame retardants are available |
| for decaBDE uses, and whether the use of available alternatives reduce health risks while still maintaining an adequate level of flame retardant performance. | |
