Re: Fast Company re asbestos
Hullo again Aileen,
"On Friday, June 1st, EPA proposed the first Significant New Use Rule for asbestos. The proposed significant new use rule will require manufacturers and importers to notify EPA of certain uses of asbestos, which prompts an EPA evaluation of those uses before manufacturing, importing or processing can occur. In the absence of this proposed rule, the importing or processing of asbestos for the significant new uses may begin at any time, without any prior notice to EPA. EPA is not aware of asbestos being intentionally added to plastics. If asbestos is being used in plastics, under the significant new use rule manufacturers and importers would have to notify EPA, which would prompt an EPA evaluation of those uses before manufacturing, importing or processing can occur. EPA has also selected asbestos as one of first 10 chemicals undergoing risk evaluation under amended TSCA and released problem formulation documents. This is an important interim step prior to completing and publishing the final risk evaluations by December 2019. " - EPA Spokesperson

Hi Aileen, we just received your inquiry and list of questions below. We w on't be able to meet your deadline today. Is Monday too late?
Thanks, Enesta
Could you please clarify the administration's stance on the use of asbestos in U.S. manufacturing? An extensive report from Healthy Building Network released this week articulates the carcinogenic is consistently used in the plastics-supply chain used for common materials and products used in the construction of American homes and buildings.
Given that the U.S. remains one of the few developed countries worldwide that has not completely banned asbestos use, how is the EPA working to protect the public and environmental health of this country?
