In spite of the Mahatkanakshi The goals of making the United States healthy, the Trump administration on Monday revealed in court documents that it was banning cancer -producing asbestos.
Last year, under the Biden administration, the Environmental Protection Agency took a long-awaited step to ban the last type of asbestos used in the United States-Christyile Asbestos, alias “White Asbestos”. Although the use of cervical asbestos was falling, dangerous minerals are used to make various gaskets, brake blocks, after -market automotive brakes and lining, other friction products, and some diaphragm to make sodium hydroxide and chlorine.
With this ban, the United States joined more than 50 other countries around the world, which banned its use due to health risks. Generally, asbestos causes lung cancer, mesoteloma, ovarian cancer and laryngel cancer. The EPA noted at the time that the exhibition of Asbestos is associated with more than 40,000 deaths in the United States every year.
“Science is clear-Esbestos is a famous carcinjan, which has a serious impact on public health. President Biden believes that it is (a) concern that has spread races and has affected the lives of countless people. That is why the EPA has been told about the ongoing administration of Asbestos,” said EPA. “
“100 % secure”
Although the move was for decades and was welcomed by health supporters, it still allowed companies to advance the use of asbestos in some cases up to 12 years. Immediately after the announcement of the EPA, it did not stop the industry from taking legal action against the rules. Since then, legal action has been brought by several companies and trade groups, including the US Chemistry Council.
On Monday, the EPA, which is now under the Trump administration, has filed a court document that states that the ban is “now to be considered again”, and it is expected to take about 30 months, including any regulatory changes, in the process. “The EPA asked the court to suspend the court case in the meantime. The filing included a new EPA Deputy Assistant Administrator Lin Ann Declava’s new EPA Deputy Assistant Administrator in support of the new EPA Deputy Assistant Administrator of the chemical safety and pollution office.
As the Ars reported last year, there was always concern that another Trump administration would work to lift the ban. Trump supports the use of Asbestos. In his 1997 book The art of returnTrump writes that Essebestos “is” 100 percent safe, once applied “and he accused him of his reputation as Karsjan, wrote:” I believe the movement against Asbestos was led by the mob, because it was often the crowded companies that were working in the works. “
Russia welcomes Trump’s support for Esbestos, which is a basic asbestos supplier to the United States. In 2018, a Russian Asbestos Company began marketing asbestos with Trump’s face and seal “The 45th President of the United States was approved by Donald Trump.”
