As the EPA weighs its anticipated regulation, it is also looking at its options for setting limits on more types of PFAS in groups, the person said, noting that GenX and PFBS could be part of these groups. Health advocates have called for regulating more than just the two types...
The American Chemistry Council, which represents chemical manufacturers, said the primary two chemicals being regulated were largely phased out of production by its members eight years ago. The group said in a statement it supported drinking-water standards for the chem...
it creates a whole economic incentive to keep them on the market. Once these mistakes are made, we live with them for generations. There are a number of examples of toxic chemicals now being used that were assessed incorrectly by the EPA.” ...
Section 405(d) of the Clean Water Act (CWA) [https://www.epa.gov/biosolids/biosolids-laws-and-regulations] requires the EPA to review sewage sludge regulations every two years to identify any additional pollutants that may occur in biosolids and to set regulations for pollutants identified in ...

The negative publicity associated with media coverage, coupled with the pressure exerted by well-organized and persistent commun...
Substances Control Act (TSCA) Section 8(a)(7), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is requiring businesses to report if they have manufactured or imported articles containing PFAS between January 1st, 2011 to December 31st, 2022. The report must be submitted to the EPA by May...
B&C views EPA’s Framework as a positive outcome for replacing the use ofin vivoanimal testing with information sources that may provide more relevant data for protecting human health. EPA’s Framework will likely be well received by entities that use TSCA regulated substances for other applica...

and these were reviewed for the extent to which the criteria relevant to sustainable development in Table2were addressed. These were assigned as being met (YES), partially met (Partially), or not met (NO), emphasized by color coding in Table3in the Results section, with explanatory details ...
LaLone et al. [161] suggest that if the molecular target of a chemical is unknown then in vitro data (e.g. from USEPA ToxCast [162,163,164,165]) might be used to identify potential protein molecular targets, or it may be possible to assign tentative molecular targets based on informat...
