Ms. Beck, Mr. Morris and Ms. Corado,
In grad school, I took a course on environmental policy where I learned what happens where there is a lack of proper regulation to protect American citizens from harmful chemicals - 1am referring to the TSCA act of 1974.
Late last year, I was saddened to learn about the passing of my friend's sudden death, Ex. 6 Personal Privacy (PP) was a young, great, healthy guy who was just starting his business and had his whole ilfe'aHeaU of"' him.
How did he die? He passed away after using a methylene chloride-based paint stripper.
Now I'm very troubled by reports that the EPA is once again not doing enough to protect American citizens. EPA has indefinitely postponed its ban on methylene chloride (EPA-HQ-OPPT-2016-02310001).
Protecting American consumers and workers from dangerous chemicals is at the core of your agency's mission. The longer these rules are delayed the more workers and consumers will be needlessly exposed to chemicals with serious, well-documented health risks.
Action on this toxic chemical is long overdue. I urge the EPA to reconsider its decision to delay the rule making process. You should finalize the proposed ban on methylene chloride as soon as possible.
Your actions could save lives of other Americans who may be at risk simply by going to LOWE'S and not know that they are buying their death ticket. Thank you for your consideration.
