What do government organizations have to say about boron?
The standing regulations are more than adequate to protect people, animals and the environment, according to most major risk assessment organizations around the world that have studied boron – including the World Health Organization, the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the European Union and the National Academy of Sciences. In fact, most regulatory bodies are focusing their energies on determining how much boron people need each day to stay healthy. The European Union has reclassifyied borates and requires that products containing more than 5 percent borates be labeled as a hazard, similar to wine and beer labeling, in the coming year. As world leaders in information about borate technology, health and safety issues, we are cooperating with EU leaders and making our information and experience available to them.
