Consultation on the proposed ban on Cadmium inwards artists' paints inwards Europe

How the proposed ban came about


Sweden prepared a restriction study on the role of Cadmium inwards artists paints
The proposed restriction concerns placing on the marketplace as well as role of cadmium as well as its
compounds inwards artists’ paints; TARIC code [3213] as well as pigments TARIC code [3212]
that could live used for the manufacture of artists’ paints.
This is the 203 page Swedish study (in English) Proposal for a Restriction - Cadmium as well as its Compounds I Artists Paints
During role as well as cleaning procedures cadmium based artists’ pigment is released to the waste materials water. At the waste materials H2O handling found (WWTP) the cadmium pigments volition for a predominating business office halt upwardly inwards the sewage sludge. Sludge is as well as so applied as
fertiliser inwards the agriculture. The cadmium compounds used inwards artists’ paints
will eventually dissolve inwards the reason (Gustafsson 2013, Appendix 3) as well as therefore in that location is a potential crop uptake as well as inwards the extension exposure to humans via food.

Colours, imitating cadmium, already exist. Cadmium based pigments are mainly substituted past times organic pigments. The properties of the organic pigments are inwards many
ways similar to cadmium colours but cannot live considered identical as well as thus remove keep to live evaluated on a representative - past times - representative footing past times the private artist.

The alternatives are by as well as large less costly per book unit of measurement but ask larger volumes than cadmium based paints. In this study it is assumed that these aspects cancel each other out The proposed restriction volition effectively trim back the identified risk.
