The news gained traction after Chelsea Clinton tweeted a small trade publication report pushing this narrative. Please see our statement below: "The press reports on this issue are inaccurate. Without the proposed Significant New Use Rule (SNUR) EPA would not have a regulatory basis to restrict manufacturing and processing for the new asbestos uses covered by the rule. The EPA action would prohibit companies from manufacturing, importing, or processing for these new uses of asbestos unless they receive approval from EPA."- EPA spokesman James Hewitt Michael Abboud IJ.S.
