The Part 1 Report on Tire Crumb Rubber Characterization is now available and can be viewed here.
These tests, along with existing scientific information from the literature, will help us better understand the make-up of tire crumb rubber. Characterization of the chemicals found in tire crumb rubber - EPA and CDC/ATSDR are testing tire crumb rubber from different manufacturing plants and fields.The Literature Review and Data Gaps Analysis is included in the status report released in December 2016. Analysis of data gaps - EPA, CDC/ATSDR, and CPSC evaluated the existing scientific information related to the use of tire crumb rubber in synthetic turf fields to understand the current state-of-the-science and inform the research activities.Outreach to key stakeholders - EPA, CDC/ATSDR, and CPSC are having discussions with other government agencies that have researched or are currently researching tire crumb rubber that provide expertise to inform the federal study, and other key stakeholder groups including tire crumb rubber manufacturers, non-profit organizations, field installers and maintenance professionals, and field users.The plan includes four research activities:
What research is included in the Federal Research Action Plan? Will it answer the question of whether tire crumb rubber is safe? Department of Defense and California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) are providing expertise, facilities, and/or sharing of information. Other agencies such as National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, the U.S. This plan is led and primarily implemented by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (CDC/ATSDR), in cooperation with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and other agencies. Which agencies are involved with the Federal Research Action Plan?
