Lead Exposure Reduction Acts

Operating under contract to EPA, the TCSA Hotline provides technical assistance and information about programs under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), including the Asbestos School Hazard Abatement Act (ASHAA), the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA), and the Lead Exposure Reduction Act. Hours 8 30 a.m. - 5 00 p.m. EST weekdays. 

When the same Senate subcommittee convened later in 1990 to consider the Lead Ban Act of 1990 and the Lead Exposure Reduction Act of 1990, medical experts, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the National Education Association, and others spoke in favor of both measures. 

For example the Reid-Lieberman bill (1991) dealing with lead in paint and solders the Waxman bill (also 1991) banning lead use in pipes and piping and the Senate and House Lead Exposure Reduction Acts of 1992 1993, which in addition to further restrictions on lead use, required inventories to be drawn up of lead-containing products (with over 0.1 per cent lead). 

Several factors motivated Nortel to produce the lead-free telephone, including public concern over the effect of lead on the human body and the defeated U.S. Lead Exposure Reduction Act in 1994. In addition, efforts in Europe to ban lead-containing electronics waste initiated by the Netherlands served as a driving force to develop the telephone [23]. Other contributing factors to Nortel s lead-free work included cost issues lead-free products would incur lower handling and disposal costs, and product end-of-life liability and disposal costs would be avoided. 

U. S. Congress. 1992a. Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Title IV-Lead Exposure Reduction. Enacted by Public Law 102-550, October 28, 1992. 

A more recent piece of U.S. legislation with a lead focus was Title X of the Housing and Community Development Act, referred to as the 1992 Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act or simply Title X. Tide X provides a number of steps to eliminate the most hazardous of lead-painted residences in public and certain classes of private housing. Its guiding purpose was to develop a national approach to creating infrastructure to eliminate hazards as rapidly as possible. Some provisions of the legislation as interpreted by HUD and EPA are controversial, particularly in the matter of interim controls of lead paint exposures in the most deteriorated living units. 

Imines can also act as the source of nucleophilic nitrogen in such cyclizations exposure of the Schiff s base 195 to PhSeBr leads to the iminium salt 196, reduction of which gives the A -benzylpyrrolidine 197, not surprisingly with little stereocontrol <93CC916 95CC2029>.
