"Trump Narrows Scope Of Safety Reviews For Some Chemicals"

"The Trump administration is proposing to narrow the scope of safety reviews of chemicals that are already out on the market, it said Monday.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said in a proposed rule that when it assesses the safety of existing chemicals it would take a narrower approach.

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin in a written statement framed the move as finding a balance between environmental protection and support for industry.

“This work is yet another example of how we can and will protect human health and the environment while allowing manufacturing and industrial sectors to thrive,” he said."
