Toxicity Evaluation Of Decamethylcylopentasiloxane (D5)
In September 2006, GreenEarth (GreenEarth) requested CARB to evaluate the health information for Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane, also known as D5, the solvent used in GreenEarth. Consequently, we asked the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) to review the available information on the toxicity and persistence of D5. The following documents pertain to OEHHA’s evaluation.
- CARB letter to the local air districts
