In a landmark move destined to significantly impact public health the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), has announced a comprehensive ban on the ongoing uses of chrysotile asbestos in the United States. This decisive action, effective from March 18, 2024, marks the culmination of decades-long efforts to address the severe health risks posed by asbestos exposure. Known to cause a range of cancers, including lung, ovarian, and mesothelioma, asbestos has been responsible for over 40,000 American deaths annually.
The rule to prohibit ongoing uses of chrysotile asbestos marks the first regulation finalized under the updated Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) process, showcasing a significant milestone in the U.S.’s chemical safety efforts.
The EPA’s decision to ban asbestos was influenced by its severe impact on public health and the environment, as well as the substance being banned in over 50 countries worldwide.
