Phosphine oxide chemical environment

In 2006 the REACH Regulation (1907/2006/EC) marked a revolution in the dangerous substances policy. The burden of proof for the safety (no risk to humans and environment) of substances companies put on the market now lay with industry. Substances produced within the European Union as well as imported fall under REACH. Through authorizations (annex XIV) and restrictions (annex XVII), the production, use, and import of hazardous substances such as chemicals and/or present in textile articles are limited. Dimethyl fumarate, tris(2,3 dibromopropyl) phosphate, tris (aziridinyl) phosphine oxide, organotin compounds, pentachlorophenol, nonylphenol and nonylphenolethoxylate, certain phthalates are examples of such hazardous substances for which restrictions are enacted. HBCD, phthalates such as DEHP, DBP, DIBP, BBP, and the like fall under the authorization requirement.
