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

一 |     白洋站B口工地现状 记者 岳雁 摄这些天，进出杭州地铁2号线白洋站的居民发现，动工没多久的B口，又一次停工了。白洋站开通至今已经有9年了，周边各大小区也已交付8年多了。    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."。作为站点规划四个出入口之一，A、C、D口早已全面投用、正常服务市民，唯独位于古墩路与庄墩路交叉口西北角的B口，仍然处于封闭预留状态。B口还会继续建设吗？2号线白洋站开通9年B口一直未能落地2017年杭州地铁2号线白洋站通车，随着周边楼盘陆续交付，围绕着白洋站，一个成熟的生活圈已经成型。

二 | 站在古墩路和庄墩路交叉口，可以看见，白洋站其他3个出入口外面都很热闹，停着共享单车、电动车，乘客进进出出。

三 | 唯有西北角的B口安安静静。B口附近的施工现场，围挡依旧封闭，但从缝隙望进去，场内早已无工人作业，只见一片绿色杂草。“今年年初有工人、施工车辆进出，都动工了。”周边居民说，“大概施工了两个多月，突然有一天又没动静了，然后就停工到现在。”白洋站B口紧邻奥克斯缔逸城小区，是周边居民“家门口的地铁口”，步行仅百米即可进站。但由于B口一直没有开通，缔逸城、越秀星汇悦城、景溪南苑、景溪北苑、云和湖等多个大型小区，以及嘉绿苑小学、景汇中学的师生出行，只能绕行至马路对面的C口。需横穿古墩路、庄墩路两条主干道，要多绕行好几百米。“加上等红绿灯、穿马路，至少多花六七分钟。现在这么热，还要顶着大太阳等红灯。”住在越秀星汇悦城的葛女士说，“盼B口开通盼了这么多年，开工又停工真的蛮失望。

四 | ”邻近小区地下室围护结构“越线”B口设计方案正在调整为什么这个B口拖延多年才开工，开工后又停工呢？白洋站B口所在位置，属于奥克斯缔逸城全体业主共有的公共用地。奥克斯缔逸城在2015年拿地、2018年正式交付，当初拿地价格1.2万元/平方米，开发商主打“地铁上盖、一站入户”的销售卖点，吸引了大批刚需购房者。

五 | 但在地铁2号线建设初期，奥克斯缔逸城初期业主对于土地征用补偿存在较大异议，而开发商又不愿承担出入口建设资金，双方僵持不下。地铁方无奈选择暂时搁置项目，计划后期协调完善后再推进。这一搁置便到了2021年。2021年，缔逸城小区业委会成立后，在属地街道、社区的多方牵头协调下，全体业主最终表决同意无偿出让施工所需土地，项目建设资金则由良渚新城解决。之后，B口建设顺利推进，并于2026年初开工。

六 | 为什么又暂停了？杭州地铁表示，因为施工单位发现邻近小区地下室围护结构侵入地铁出入口红线范围，导致无法按照原设计方案继续施工。目前正协调设计院调整设计方案，待新方案明确后会恢复施工。
