Policy Report: Chemical
Exposures Cost Billions
Serious gaps in existing laws regulating the production and use of hazardous chemicals fail to protect public health and the environment, according to a new report released yesterday by researchers at UC Berkeley and UCLA. As a result of this inadequate oversight, it says, chemical and pollution-related diseases among children and workers in California cost the state's insurers, businesses and families an estimated $2.6 billion in direct and indirect costs. Existing problems and recommended policy changes are detailed in "Green Chemistry: Cornerstone to a Sustainable California," which has been endorsed by 127 faculty members from seven UC campuses, plus Berkeley and Livermore national labs. Full story.

DOE, EPA Praise Light
Bulb Replacement Results
Americans are more than making good on their pledges to help fight climate change by replacing their lights with ENERGY STAR-qualified CFLs (compact fluorescent lights). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that CFL sales for 2007 were nearly double those in 2006, accounting for about 20 percent of the light bulb market in the U.S. ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the EPA and the Department of Energy. ENERGY STAR-qualified CFLs use about 75 percent less energy and last up to 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs. Full story.
