The Environmental Protection Agency plans to examine the dangers associated with several chemicals, with a particular focus on those utilized in plastic manufacturing.
The Biden administration might soon assess the risks from vinyl chloride, a cancer-causing chemical that burned in toxic smoke after the February train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio.
A range of chemicals are eligible for review and if they proceed with the review of vinyl chloride, the chemical will undergo an assessment to establish whether it poses an"unreasonable risk to human health or the environment," the AP states. This evaluation process is expected to last for a minimum of three years.
