The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced a proposed rule aimed at addressing the potential harm to human health posed by trichloroethylene (TCE). This widely-used chemical, found in various industrial, commercial, and consumer applications, has raised concerns about its effects on health and the environment.
TCE, a solvent utilized in processes such as hydrofluorocarbon production, degreasing, and lubricants, has been linked to significant adverse health impacts. These effects include liver toxicity, kidney toxicity, neurotoxicity, immunotoxicity, reproductive toxicity, developmental toxicity, and various forms of cancer. TCE is considered a neurotoxicant and is known to be carcinogenic to humans through multiple exposure routes.
To mitigate these identified risks, the EPA's proposal includes the following measures:
These regulations aim to ensure the safety of both human health and the environment by reducing the exposure to TCE and its associated risks. The proposal seeks to fulfill the requirements of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) by addressing the unreasonable risks posed by TCE.
