Plain-language summary of each regulated substance found above, drawn from public regulatory data.
Formaldehyde is a colorless, strong-smelling gas used in many everyday products, such as glues, pressed-wood furniture, and some household cleaners. It is also a natural byproduct of burning fuels and even our own bodies. Because of its widespread use, people can be exposed to it indoors and outdoors. The European Union's REACH regulation lists formaldehyde as a Substance of Very High Concern because the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies it as Group 1, meaning it is carcinogenic to humans. This listing means that companies must get authorization to use it, and it is restricted in certain articles under REACH Annex XVII to limit exposure. The goal is to protect people and the environment from potential long-term health risks. This summary draws on public regulatory data; the linked source is authoritative.

Formaldehyde is a colorless, strong-smelling gas that is used in many everyday products, such as pressed-wood furniture, glues, and some fabrics. It is also a natural byproduct of things like car exhaust and cigarette smoke. California's Proposition 65 lists formaldehyde because it is classified as a carcinogen, meaning it can cause cancer. The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) added it to the list on January 1, 1988. This regulation helps people know when they might be exposed to formaldehyde, so they can make informed choices about the products they use. The law requires businesses to provide clear warnings if their products contain this chemical at levels that could pose a risk.

Formaldehyde is a colorless, strong-smelling gas used widely in building materials, household products, and as a preservative in labs and some consumer goods. You might encounter it in pressed-wood furniture, glues, paints, and even in some fabrics. The World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies formaldehyde as Group 1, meaning it is carcinogenic to humans based on strong evidence from studies. This regulation exists because long-term exposure, especially in workplaces or poorly ventilated spaces, has been linked to certain cancers. IARC's evaluation is part of its ongoing review of substances that may pose cancer risks. You can find the full classification list at the source below.

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. This summary draws on public regulatory data; the linked source is authoritative. Source: European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) Candidate List of SVHCs - https://echa.europa.eu/candidate-list-table
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 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) 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. This summary draws on public regulatory data; the linked source is authoritative.
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.
