Regulated substances (5)

About these substances

Plain-language summary of each regulated substance found above, drawn from public regulatory data.

Mercury and its compounds (CAS 7439-97-6)

Mercury is a naturally occurring metal that can be harmful to human health, especially the nervous system and reproductive health. It appears in various forms, including methylmercury and thimerosal, and has been used in products like thermometers, dental fillings, batteries, and some vaccines. Because mercury can build up in the body and damage the brain and developing fetus, it is regulated under the EU REACH SVHC Candidate List as a neurotoxin and toxic for reproduction. International efforts, such as the Minamata Convention, also aim to reduce mercury pollution. The European Chemicals Agency lists mercury and its compounds as substances of very high concern, meaning their use is strictly controlled to protect people and the environment.

Mercury and mercury compounds (CAS 7439-97-6)

Mercury and mercury compounds are naturally occurring elements that can be found in various forms, such as metallic mercury, methylmercury, and mercuric chloride. They have been used in products like thermometers, dental fillings, some vaccines (as thimerosal), and industrial processes. Mercury is regulated under California Proposition 65 because it can be toxic to the nervous system, especially during fetal development and early childhood. The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) lists mercury and its compounds as substances known to cause developmental harm (endpoint DF). This means that exposure to high levels, particularly through contaminated fish or certain products, may pose risks. The regulation helps inform consumers so they can make safer choices. For more details, see the official list at https://oehha.ca.gov/proposition-65/proposition-65-list. This summary draws on public regulatory data; the linked source is authoritative.

Mercury (CAS 7439-97-6)

Mercury is a naturally occurring metal that is liquid at room temperature, often found in old thermometers, dental fillings, batteries, and some light bulbs. It is regulated under EU REACH Annex XVII because it can build up in the environment and harm wildlife and human health over time. The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) restricts its use in many consumer products to reduce exposure, as mercury can damage the nervous system, especially in developing children. For example, the rules limit mercury in measuring devices, electrical switches, and cosmetics. This summary draws on public regulatory data; the linked source is authoritative.

Mercury (Hg) (CAS 7439-97-6)

Mercury (Hg) is a heavy metal that is a natural element, but it can be harmful to humans and the environment. It is used in some older electronics, like fluorescent lamps, switches, and batteries, as well as in dental fillings and some medical devices. Mercury is regulated because it is a neurotoxin, meaning it can damage the nervous system, and it is bioaccumulative, which means it builds up in the bodies of animals and people over time, especially in fish. The EU RoHS Directive restricts mercury in electrical and electronic equipment to protect health and the environment. For example, the EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU Annex II (with 2015/863 amendment) limits mercury to no more than 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials.

Mercury and its compounds, except those special cases included in Annex V (CAS 7439-97-6)

Mercury is a naturally occurring metal that is toxic even in small amounts. It and its compounds were once used in some skin-lightening creams, eye makeup, and other cosmetics, but the European Union now bans them from all cosmetic products under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009. The reason for the ban is that mercury can build up in the body over time, harming the kidneys and nervous system. It can also cause allergic skin reactions. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies mercury and its compounds as possibly carcinogenic to humans. Because of these risks, the EU Cosmetic Regulation Annex II lists mercury and its compounds as prohibited ingredients, with only a few special exceptions for preservatives in very low amounts, which are listed separately in Annex V. This summary draws on public regulatory data; the linked source is authoritative. Source: EU Regulation 1223/2009 Annex II (Cosmetic Products) - https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2009/1223
