Tire Chemical With Unpronounceable Name Is Apparently Murdering Salmon
Published Date: 1/17/2025
Proposed Rule
Summary
The EPA is giving everyone more time—until March 24, 2025—to share their thoughts on a chemical called 6PPD and its byproduct, 6PPD-quinone, which might pose risks to health and the environment. This extension helps businesses, scientists, and the public weigh in before any new rules are made under the Toxic Substances Control Act. No costs or rules are set yet, but this is a key step toward safer chemical use.
