(410 ILCS 48/25)
Sec. 25. DecaBDE Study. By January 2, 2006, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, shall submit to the General Assembly and the Governor a report that reviews the latest available scientific research to address the following issues:
(1) whether decaBDE is bio-accumulating in humans and
the environment, and if so, whether the levels of decaBDE are increasing, decreasing, or staying the same;
(2) how are humans exposed to decaBDE;
(3) what health effects could result from exposure to
decaBDE, and are current levels of exposure at levels that could produce these effects;
(4) whether decaBDE breaks down into more harmful
chemicals that could damage public health; and
(5) whether effective flame retardants are available
for decaBDE uses, and whether the use of available alternatives reduce health risks while still maintaining an adequate level of flame retardant performance.
