This #TSCA bill is nothing but a sweeping wishlist for the chemical industry, and would roll back critical health protections from toxic chemicals.
Big Chemical seems to want to go back to the days when EPA couldn't even ban asbestos.
We applaud the House Energy & Commerce Committee for introducing legislation to restore predictable and science-driven #TSCA implementation, a vital step to reduce the new chemicals backlog and help U.S. manufacturers dominate. Read more. #ChemistryCreates https://ow.ly/gmM750XY5lc
BREAKING: House Republicans released a draft bill to weaken the Toxic Substances Control Act, our bedrock chemical safety law. This rollback would significantly raise health risks from toxic chemicals, including cancer. Our homes are safer because of TSCA—we must protect it.
The new #TSCA bill is nothing but a wish list for Big Chemical.
It will bring us back to the dark days when EPA coudln't even ban deadly substances like asbestos.
Getting TSCA back on track is critical for American industries. This bill will provide the durable fixes to TSCA – both new & existing chemicals – to strengthen U.S. competitiveness. America will be stronger, healthier and more affordable because of it. https://ow.ly/yclx50XXG7K
