EPA Proposes New Deadlines for Risk Evaluations of 22 High-Priority Chemicals, Over Three Years Late

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed new court-ordered deadlines to complete risk evaluations for 22 potentially dangerous chemicals, more than three years after the original statutory deadline. The proposed consent decrees would establish new deadlines for the reviews for the nearly two dozen chemicals, which range from phthalates to flame retardants, deemed “high priority” under the Toxic Substances Control Act. The EPA would have to finalize risk assessments for five chemicals by the end of 2025 and then have until 2026 to complete the remaining 10.
