ADAO hopeful about TSCA amendments

The Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO) has expelled a statement announcing that it is encouraged by a conference upon Prioritizing Chemicals for Safety Determination being held by a Energy as well as Commerce Subcommittee upon Commerce, Trade as well as Consumer Protection. This conference looked at assorted options for a prioritization of chemicals for reserve determinations in case a Committee amends a Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).

ADAO is carefree that amendments to a TSCA could move a United States closer to a ban upon asbestos. Earlier this year, a Surgeon General concurred that there is no protected turn of asbestos exposure. See associated story.  The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has additionally recommended amending a TSCA to protect adults from asbestos as well as other dangerous chemicals.
