EWG’s Comments to EPA on Chemical Review Prioritization

With these comments, EWG advises the Environmental Protection Agency to not focus its limited time and resources protecting the bottom lines of chemical companies by creating long lists of “low-priority” chemicals. Instead, the EPA must prioritize identifying the most toxic chemicals, especially those that can harm children’s health.  EWG emphasizes that the  EPA should use its order authority to require safety testing for chemicals already in commerce, and take action to protect the health of American families.
