What does FINDINGS. of 6PPD Task Force Act do?

This section outlines findings related to 6PPD, a chemical used in tires. 6PPD prevents tire degradation and ensures durability, but reacts to form compounds including 6PPD-Q. 6PPD-Q, resulting from stormwater runoff, is acutely toxic to coho salmon. Private sector efforts are underway to develop alternatives to 6PPD that avoid harming wildlife and prioritize passenger safety. Finding a 6PPD alternative has implications for national security, supply chains, environmental health, and human health. Replacement efforts must maintain compliance with vehicle safety and performance standards.
