The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued new rules regarding the use of mercury in barometers.

  • 2012-12-25

Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a significant new rule on May 30 regarding the use of mercury, covering barometers, sphygmomanometers, hygrometers, and air hygrometers. This rule requires any manufacturer or importer intending to produce, import, or process mercury for these purposes to notify the EPA at least 90 days in advance so that the EPA can assess the situation and, if necessary, restrict the use of mercury. This rule will take effect on June 29, 2012.

Under the Toxic Substances Control Act, the export of mercury requires notification. Prior to January 1, 2013, the export of mercury from the United States was prohibited under the Mercury Export Ban Act of 2008.

Meanwhile, the EU REACH Committee stated that similar policies will restrict the use of mercury in these devices, expected to take effect 18 months after the restriction notice is published in the Official Journal in August this year. http://green.pidc.org.tw/news.php?action=detail&id=1106 )
