EPA bans asbestos, a deadly carcinogen still in use decades after a partial ban was enacted
apnews.com/article/epa-asbestos-cancer-brakes-biden-72b0fa8b36adedaff6000034d35c2acd
Quick Glance: EPA Bans Asbestos Despite Decades-Long Partial Ban
- The EPA has announced a comprehensive ban on asbestos, a carcinogen that is still used in some products such as chlorine bleach, brake pads, and other products, killing tens of thousands of Americans annually.
- The final rule signifies a significant expansion of EPA regulation under a landmark 2016 law that revamped regulations for tens of thousands of toxic chemicals in everyday products.
- The new rule would prohibit the use of chrysotile asbestos, the only ongoing use of asbestos in the U.S., found in products like brake linings and gaskets, used to manufacture chlorine bleach and sodium hydroxide.
- The EPA rule will ban imports of asbestos for chlor-alkali use immediately upon publication, but a ban on most other uses would come into effect in two years.
The US just announced an asbestos ban. What took so long?: The move comes decades after dozens of other Western nations took steps to ban the carcinogen.
