FDA considers issuing proposed rule to ban formaldehyde in hair straightening products_我的网站

一 | The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued a notice suggesting it may consider a proposal to ban the use of formaldehyde in hair straightening and hair smoothing products.The FDA's consideration of the proposal was entered in the Unified Agenda, a government registry of actions that administrative agencies plan to issue.There is no set timeline on when the agency may consider the proposal or when, if it moves forward, a ban would go into effect.Frequent use of hair-straightening products that include chemicals like formaldehyde has been found in studies to put women at a higher risk for uterine cancer.One study published last year found an association that women who self-reported frequent use of hair straightening products were more than twice as likely to later develop uterine cancer than women who did not use the products. Scientists caution that it's not clear yet if these products cause cancer. For now, research only hints at only a probable link.Uterine cancer, a type of cancer that starts in the uterus, is a risk factor for anyone with a uterus, but the risk increases with age, especially during and after menopause, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Last year's study found that Black women may be more affected by the increased risk of uterine cancer not because of their race, but due to the fact that they use chemical hair straightening products at a higher rate. Frequent use of the products was defined as more than four times in the previous year, according to the study, which included more than 33,000 women between the ages of 35 to 74.Formaldehyde is described by the Environmental Protection Agency as a "colorless, flammable gas" that can cause "adverse health effects" with exposure. When used in hair smoothing products, the formaldehyde is released into the air as a gas when the products are heated.The Department of Health and Human Services lists formaldehyde as a "known carcinogen."The FDA issued a warning last year stating that the use of hair smoothing products in an area that is not properly ventilated could lead to a risk of a person inhaling formaldehyde. In the warning, the agency acknowledged it began receiving "inquiries from consumers and salon professionals" about the safety of formaldehyde in products as far back as 20 years ago.Melanie Benesh, vice president for government affairs at the Environmental Working Group, an environmental advocacy organization, described the FDA's consideration of a ban on formaldehyde as a move that is "welcome, but long overdue."Benesh pointed out that the Environmental Working Group published a report as early as 2011 on the widespread use of formaldehyde in hair product brands and in salons across the U.S."The FDA has been aware of this issue for a long time," Benesh told "Good Morning America," adding, "There is no reason that the FDA shouldn’t have acted earlier on what is a real public health issue, particularly for salon workers."The FDA did not reply to ABC News' request for comment in response to Benesh's claim that the agency should have acted sooner.Benesh added that salon workers are at increased risk of adverse health effects due to their prolonged exposure to the types of hair treatments that include chemicals, including keratin treatments and Brazilian blowouts."Consumers are going to be exposed if they get one of those treatments or if you're in the salon while someone else is getting that same kind of treatment," she said. "But salon workers are more likely to do multiple treatments a day or multiple treatments a week and over the course of a year, and so those repeat exposures can really add up to an increased risk."California and Maryland recently passed state legislation banning the use of formaldehyde in hair straightening products. Both laws are set to go into effect January 2025.Benesh noted there are hair straightening and smoothing products currently on the market that do not use formaldehyde. She said her advice to consumers and salon workers is to not wait for regulatory action but instead refrain from using hair products with formaldehyde on their own."There's no reason to wait until the law takes effect or until a proposed rule takes effect to switch to safer products, or to just no longer offer those services if you can't find a hair smoothing or hair straightening treatment that you like that doesn't use formaldehyde," Benesh said. "It's not worth the risk. It's not worth your stylists or your consumers potentially getting cancer just to have straight hair."。日报讯（记者米彦泽、潘文静）8月25日，“算力中国行”（京津冀）媒体调研采访活动在石家庄启动。

二 | 40余名来自中央媒体、行业媒体和省直媒体的记者，将奔赴雄安新区、廊坊、天津武清、北京亦庄等地，围绕算力基础设施、装备制造、智算集群、行业应用、城市大脑、太空算力等成效，开展为期3天的调研采访，多角度、立体式感受京津冀算力产业蓬勃向上的发展态势。在当天召开的媒体座谈会上，省工业和信息化厅、省通信管理局、廊坊市政府分别介绍了省算力产业、信息通信业以及廊坊市算力发展情况，相关企业代表作了交流发言。“京津冀协同发展大背景下，已经成长为全国举足轻重的算力产业高地。”工业和信息化部新闻宣传中心总编辑王保平表示，中国信通院《2025综合算力指数》显示，省综合算力指数连续两年位居全国第一，廊坊、张家口两座城市算力分指数连续两年居全国前两位。

三 | 在他看来，发展算力，具备区位近、绿电足、基础实、政策优四大突出优势。区位上，廊坊算力集群到北京时延仅1毫秒，张家口对接北京核心区域时延可控制在3毫秒内，是承接北京算力外溢的核心枢纽。绿电上，张家口作为国家可再生能源示范区，新能源装机基础雄厚，为算电协同、绿色算力发展提供了得天独厚的资源条件。底座上，全省建成5G基站22.3万个，6个城市获评千兆城市，万兆光网试点项目入选数量居全国前列；已经形成张家口、廊坊两大算力集聚高地，全国十强算力服务商已有7家布局廊坊。政策上，省工信厅联合八部门出台《省“人工智能+制造”专项行动实施方案》。廊坊推出算力券等惠企举措，当地产业正在从“卖机柜”向“卖词元”升级。
