Methylene Chloride Ban
Mr. Pruitt, Dr. Beck, Ms. Corado, Mr. Parsons, Mr. Morris,
Our friend's son j 0 ](age31), Ex. 6 Personal Privacy (PP) recently passed away while using a Methylene Chloride based paint stripper. Drew was wearing a respirator and protective gloves. The area was well ventilated. The autopsy report listed the cause of death as toxic inhalation of Methylene Chloride. Drew was a wonderful person with a full life ahead of him. His tragic loss is deeply felt by his family, friends and acquaintances.
I am troubled by reports that the EPA has indefinitely postponed its ban on Methylene Chloride. (EPA-HQ-OPPT-20160231-0001).
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 toxic 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.
