Well, 4,4’-diaminodiphenylmethane, dibutyl phthalate, cobalt dichloride, arsenic pentoxide, arsenic trioxide, sodium dichromate dihydrate, xylene musk, bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, hexabromocyclododecane, short-chain chlorinated paraffins, dibutyltin oxide, lead hydrogen arsenate, triethyl arsinate, butylbenzyl phthalate. The question posed is a bit vague – what are the concentrations of these substances, and in what media do they exist? It is preliminarily determined that organic compounds such as esters can be analyzed using gas chromatography, while heavy metals can be detected by atomic absorption.

􀂙Norway’s “Prohibition on Certain Hazardous Substances in Consumer Products”􀂙 PoHS: Prohibition on Certain Hazardous Substances in Consumer Products. Expected to be adopted on December 15, 2007, and take effect on January 1, 2008. Scope of application: Almost all consumer products (with a few exceptions). The product categories included range from electrical and electronic consumer goods to clothing, bags, construction materials, toys, and more. This regulation does not apply to food and food packaging, fertilizers, medical equipment, and cigarettes, as well as to fixtures on vehicles, tires, and other similar vehicle components. 􀂙Hazardous substances under PoHS control: The new regulations recommend restricting 18 substances, of which only 2 (lead and cadmium) are included in the EU RoHS directive; in addition, 16 other substances are specified as being prohibited from use. Percentage limits for classified substances: 1. Brominated flame retardants: Hexabromocyclododecane HBCDD – 0.1; Tetrabromobisphenol A TBBP-A – 1; Chlorinated paraffins C14-17; Chlorinated paraffins C14-17 MCCP – 0.1. 2. Metals and metal compounds: Arsenic and its compounds – As – 0.01; Lead and its compounds – Pb – 0.01; Cadmium and its compounds – Cd – 0.01. 3. Organotin compounds: Tributyltin TBT – 0.001; Triphenyltin TPT – 0.001. 4. Aromatic compounds: Musk xylene – 0.05; Musk ketone – 0.05; Perfluorinated compounds: Ammonium perfluorooctanoate PFOA – 0.005. 5. Surfactants: Bis(hydrogenated tallow alkyl)dimethylchloroamine DTDMAC; Diestearyldimethylchloroamine DODMAC/DSDMAC; Di(hydrogenated tallow)dimethylchloroamine DHTDMAC – total 0.1. 6. Others: Bisphenol A, also known as bisphenol propane – 0.005 (currently); 0.0025 (in three years). Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate DEHP – 0.1; Pentachlorophenol – 0.1; Triclosan – 0.001. 7. Substances of particular concern: 1. Tetrabromobisphenol A: Widely used in printed circuit boards (PCBs), as well as in plastics, rubber, textiles, fibers, and paper. It can also be used as a reactive brominated flame retardant in the production of brominated epoxy resins and brominated polycarbonates. Additionally, it functions as an additive flame retardant in epoxy resins, ABS, HIPS, AS, etc. Harm: —Prolonged exposure hinders brain and bone development ; —When incinerated, it releases brominated dioxins and furans that are carcinogenic ; —Harms the hormone system. 2. Tetrabromobisphenol A – Regulatory limits set by other well-known companies: DELL: By 2009, all new products were not to contain brominated flame retardants, including TBBPA in circuit boards. HP: As of January 1, 2007, the content of TBBPA in the plastics on the outside of products was limited to 1000 ppm; the same requirement applied to PCBs and printed circuit boards. 3. Hexabromocyclododecane: Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) is an additive flame retardant, accounting for up to 74.7% of its composition. HBCD has a high flame-retardant efficiency and good flowability; it is soluble in common solvents. It is primarily used as a flame retardant in PS foam plastics, HIPS, adhesives, coatings, and polypropylene fibers. It does not need to be used in combination with antimony oxide as a synergist. Although HBCD offers excellent flame-retardant properties, it can pose potential long-term risks to humans and the environment. International environmental organizations have included it on the list of the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) ; Currently, countries around the world, especially developed ones, are actively controlling the production and emissions of HBCD. Companies are now being regulated: Lenovo’s approach is EPA3540C. 4.MCCP for medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (C14-C17). Chlorinated paraffins (CPs) are a very complex mixture, usually classified into several groups depending on the chain length of the raw materials and the amount of chlorine present in the substance. The three main categories include short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs), medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (MCCPs), and long-chain chlorinated paraffins (LCCPs). Chlorinated paraffins are suitable for flame retardancy in various products. It is widely used in industries such as plastics, rubber, and fibers as a plasticizer, as a surface treatment agent for fabrics and packaging materials, as an additive to adhesives and coatings, as an anti-wear agent for high-pressure lubrication and metal cutting processes, as a mildew inhibitor and waterproofing agent, and as an additive in inks. Treatment method: EPA3540C. 5. Organotin compounds (TBT, TPT). Organotin compounds were originally developed as stabilizers for PVC, and later were widely used as biocides. Its areas of application include: – Being applied to ship hulls as an agent to prevent fouling; – Used in textiles as a deodorant and antimicrobial treatment agent; – Used in wooden products as a preservative. – dibutyl tin (DBT) is primarily used as an intermediate in the synthesis of stabilizers for polymer materials such as PVC. Hazards of organotin compounds: – Harmful to humans and highly toxic to aquatic organisms; – Can damage the immune system; – May cause damage to the reproductive system. Treatment method: DIN38407-13. 6. Bisphenol A, also known as bisphenylpropane, is synthesized from phenol and propylene in an acidic medium. It is an important raw material for products such as epoxy resins, polycarbonates, polysulfones, polyarylates, phenolic resins, unsaturated polyester resins, and flame retardants. This substance mimics human estrogen, altering brain structure and chemicals, as well as the immune system and reproductive organs ; Even low levels of bisphenol A are associated with malformations in the mammary glands, prostate, and eggs of laboratory animals. In addition to accelerating puberty, it can also lead to obesity as well as diseases such as breast and prostate cancer. Testing method: EN71 ; ISO8974-2004 Testing instrument: HPLC/DAD. 7. DEHP – Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate. Phthalates are primarily used as plasticizers in plastic materials, to increase the plasticity of plastics, improve the flowability of resins during processing, and endow the resulting products with flexibility. 􀂙 Phthalates can affect human hormones, impact child development, and disrupt hormone secretion ; It may also damage organs in the human body such as the liver and kidneys, and poses a risk of causing cancer. 􀂙Detection of phthalates: Extraction method: ASTM D3421 EPA3540C; Analytical instrument: GC-MS.

Xylene musk: Xylene musk is a type of artificial musk. The scientific name is 2,4,6-trinitro-5-tert-butyl-m-xylene. Pale yellow needle-like crystals. Melting point 112.5-114.5°C. Boiling point: 200-202°C. It has a strong musky scent. Used as a fixative in cosmetic fragrances and soap fragrances, etc. It is prepared by reacting tert-butyl chloride with m-xylene in the presence of aluminum chloride to yield 1,3-dimethyl-5-tert-butylbenzene, which is then nitrated with concentrated nitric acid.   Xylene musk is also used as a transdermal agent in many traditional Chinese medicine plasters, thereby enhancing the absorption of the drugs through the skin. It has sedative and analgesic effects. Although it is called artificial musk, it is a single compound, unlike natural musk which is a multi-component mixture. The drugs made from musk contain prasterone, and are classified as stimulants; therefore, their use is subject to certain restrictions. Xylene musk, on the other hand, allows these restrictions to be bypassed, which has drawn the attention of some industry professionals.
