New York State wants to require manufacturers of cleaning products to disclose all ingredients and trace contaminants added during processing if the compounds are considered threats to public health or the environment.

The draft change to a state regulation covers the probable carcinogen 1,4-dioxane, which has been found in trace amounts in Long Island’s aquifers, and thousands more chemicals listed as eye and skin irritants, endocrine disrupters, carcinogens, asthma inducers or neurotoxins. It also applies to chemicals that deplete the ozone layer or are considered aquatic toxins.

Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s office announced the regulation Tuesday. It applies to soaps and detergents used to clean fabrics, dishes, food and utensils in homes and businesses. Fragrances added to cleaning products also must be disclosed.

It does not apply to personal care items like toothpaste and shampoo, according to a proposed disclosure form.

The state is accepting comments on the disclosure form until June 14, and the requirement will take effect six months after the final form is published. The draft form can be found at www.dec.ny.gov.

Department of Health Commissioner Howard Zucker said in a news release Tuesday that the regulation “will give New York consumers the tools they need to make informed choices for themselves and for their families, and limit unknown exposure to potentially harmful chemicals.”
