TSCA TITLE VI-
The Formaldehyde Standards for Composite Wood Products Act was signed into law July 7, 2010, and added Title VI to the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The law established limits for formaldehyde emissions from composite wood products: hardwood plywood (veneer and composite core), particleboard, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), and thin-MDF. The national emissions standards in the law are designed to reduce exposures to formaldehyde, avoid harmful health effects, and mirror the emission standards previously established by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) for products sold, offered for sale, supplied, used or manufactured for sale in California. Congress tasked EPA with developing regulations to implement this law.
