This includes establishing strict timelines for managing substances found toxic under the act. Substances that are determined to be toxic under CEPA are recommended for addition to the List of Toxic Substances (Schedule 1) of the act. These control measures may be considered for any aspect of the substance's life cycle from the research and development stage through manufacture, use, storage, transport, and ultimate disposal or recycling. You'll cover compliance requirements under Part 5 of CEPA for production, importation, use, and disposal of both new and existing chemicals, as well as determining which chemicals may be subject to more detailed regulations – in particular PCBs, ozone depleting substances, and asbestos, which are known to present specific health concerns.
