The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is seeking public comments on a draft risk evaluation for Dicyclohexyl phthalate (DCHP) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). This evaluation aims to determine if DCHP poses an unreasonable risk to human health or the environment, focusing only on risk factors and not on costs. The draft suggests that DCHP presents a risk, particularly in occupational settings, while consumer and general population risks are not significantly concerning. Public comments are invited until March 10, 2025, and feedback will be considered before finalizing the evaluation.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing the availability of a draft risk evaluation for the chemical 1,3-butadiene, carried out under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The agency is seeking public comments on the evaluation and will present it to the Science Advisory Committee on Chemicals (SACC) for peer review. Two virtual public meetings are scheduled in February 2025, one for preparation and the other for peer review, where members of the public can register to provide oral comments. The evaluation aims to assess the chemical's risks to human health and the environment, with particular attention to its cancer-causing properties and exposure effects on workers and the general population.
