Trump’s EPA is ‘dangerously off the rails’ on toxic chemical regulation, say senators
Five Democrats say Trump officials have failed to ensure chemicals used in everyday products and materials are safe for humans
Senate Democrats are charging that the Trump administration has gone “dangerously off the rails”, in failing to implement landmark legislation meant to protect people from toxic chemicals.
In a letter to the Environmental Protection Agency, five senators say Trump officials are ignoring new authorities made available to them, favoring the chemical industry over the health of Americans. The senators are presidential candidate Cory Booker, Tom Udall, Ed Markey, Jeff Merkley and Sheldon Whitehouse.
