from: http://www.greenpeace.org/~toxics/reports/cleanpro.pdf "On January 15 1998, a Government Strategy on chemicals was published, which includes phasing out the use of problematic chemicals, and refers to the future publication of a phthalate action plan and a PVC investigation (expected to cover the use of stabilisers, collection of PVC waste, recycling and disposal). A national ban on phthalate plasticisers in toys and childcare articles for infants under 3 came into force on April 1 1998. Companies are given one year to clear existing stock, and inflatable toys are allowed until 1 January 2003." > From the published literature on PETE, there is every indication that the > substance is very stable and does not contaminate liquids stored in PETE > containers over extended periods of time. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
