Chemical Regulation
Today Chairman Waxman, along with Reps. Davis, Cummings, Van Hollen, Norton, Gilchrest, and Moran, wrote to EPA Administrator Johnson expressing concerns about EPA’s failure to implement a screening program for endocrine disruptors, as required by law. Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that interfere with important hormonal and developmental processes, causing reproductive and other harms to humans and other species. EPA’s efforts to protect the American public from dangerous endocrine-disrupting chemicals have been characterized by missed deadlines, prolonged delays, and inadequate incorporation of public input.
