The International Molybdenum Association (IMOA) has published its Annual Review for 2019/2020, detailing the achievements and accomplishments of the Association over the last year.
Over the last year, IMOA’s peer-reviewed, robust datasets have been used to inform regulatory decisions across the globe. For instance, the IMOA datasets informed many key parameters and outcomes in the Toxicological Profile for Molybdenum, published by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR). A comprehensive data package was also submitted to the US Environmental Protection Agency for the assessment of Mo/compounds under the US Toxic Substances Control Act.
Sustainable development is more vital than ever and, as a result, Life Cycle Assessments (LCA’s) are increasingly important. To that end, IMOA has worked to ensure molybdenum’s robust LCA data is widely disseminated and that the environmental effects datasets are used in relevant modeling software. Another notable achievement in the HSE arena has been the Molybdenum Consortium’s updates to REACH Exposure Scenarios, extended Safety Data Sheets and technical dossiers for various molybdenum substances. This ensures continued compliance with REACH requirements.
