Table A2: Reduced Risk Pesticides

For up-to-date and immediate San Francisco Hazard Review Process evaluation results, the Pesticide Research Institute's PestSmart tool or Pesticide Product Evaluator tool may be used.

If a pesticide has not yet been evaluated by the Pesticide Research Institute's tools above, use the Guide to the San Francisco's Reduced Risk Pesticide List Hazard Tier Review Process, which outlines the procedure for evaluating pesticides.

Table A4: Cleaning Protocol

Cleaning Practice Evaluation

An effective cleaning protocol must consider equipment use and staff training. A project's cleaning practice must include or be evaluated to incorporate the following changes and/or additions.

Cleaning, Disinfection and Hand Hygiene Product Selection

By establishing criteria that consider human health endpoints, certified cleaning products eliminate harmful ingredient contents and reduce potential associated hazards. Cleaning, disinfection, sanitization, hand soap and sanitizers selected for use must be certified according to the below criteria. These include products such as EPA’s Safer Choice, GreenSeal, Environmental Choice New Zealand, EU Ecolabel, Nordic Ecolabel etc. For projects outside the United States, any Type 1 eco-labeling program as defined by ISO 14024: 1999 developed by a member of the Global Ecolabelling Network may be used.

1. Cleaning products, per appropriate functional class or use case, are not formulated or manufactured with intentionally added ingredients that are:
   
   1. Classified under the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) with one or more of following hazard statements: H340 (May cause genetic defects), H350 (May cause cancer), or H360 (May damage fertility of the unborn child)
   2. Classified under GHS with the following hazard statement: H372 (Causes damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure)
   3. Listed for endocrine activity on the GreenScreen® List Translator Specified Authoritative A Lists.
   4. Classified under the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) with one or more of following hazard statements: H317 (May cause an allergic skin reaction), H334 (may cause allergy or asthma symptoms or breathing difficulties if inhaled).
   5. Listed as a Persistent Bioaccumulative Toxicant (PBT) on the GreenScreen® List Translator Specified Authoritative A Lists.
2. Hand soaps and hand sanitizers, per appropriate functional class or use case, are:
   
   1. Not formulated or manufactured with intentionally added ingredients specified in list 1.
   2. Use no antimicrobial agents (other than as a preservative) except where required by health codes and other regulations (e.g., food service and health care requirements).
3. Disinfection and sanitization products are:
   
   1. Not formulated or manufactured with intentionally added ingredients specified in list 1.

Disinfection and Sanitization

High-touch surfaces present increased risk for contamination, particularly in high transit areas. A cleaning protocol must take into account the degree to which disinfection and sanitization are necessary. Unnecessary disinfection and sanitization can negatively impact immune health. Disinfection and sanitization reduce exposure to microorganisms and parasites that can result in decreased disease and illness, however these practices are also increasingly linked to a rising prevalence of hypersensitivity disorders and autoimmune diseases, especially in industrialized nations.

To effectively apply these cleaning principals, projects must:

1. Maintain a list of high touch surfaces.
2. Limit disinfection to high-touch surfaces.

Entryway Maintenance

Entryway maintenance and care is critical to minimizing dirt and pollutants tracked in from the outdoor environment. Clean and well-maintained entryways can contribute greatly to improved indoor air quality.

This table specifies appropriate temperature ranges for storing produce. Information is adapted from the Cornell Storage Guidelines for Fruits and Vegetables.

Table L2: Melanopic and Visual Response

To calculate the melanopic ratio of light, start by obtaining the light output of the lamp at each 5 nm increment, either from manufacturer or by using a spectrometer. Then, multiply the output by the melanopic and visual curves given below to get the melanopic and visual responses. Finally, divide the total melanopic response by the total visual response and multiply the quotient by 1.218.

Although the ipRGCs have a peak sensitivity at about 480 nm, the melanopic response in this table peaks at 490 nm because it takes into account the adult eye's lens, which preferentially transmits longer wavelength light.
