The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has completed a final risk evaluation under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for formaldehyde, finding that it poses an unreasonable risk to human health. This risk includes both non-cancer effects from short-term skin and inhalation exposure and cancer risks from long-term inhalation exposure. The EPA is required to initiate risk management actions to address these risks. The decision was made based on comprehensive scientific studies and evaluations.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced the final risk evaluation for diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The EPA has found that DIDP presents an unreasonable risk to human health, particularly to female workers of reproductive age, due to non-cancer effects like reduced offspring survival linked to inhalation exposure. The EPA will propose regulatory actions to manage these risks, focusing on preventing high exposure levels in certain work scenarios. This review and the ensuing actions are guided by TSCA's requirement to use the best available science to ensure chemical safety.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has released a final risk evaluation for diisononyl phthalate (DINP) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The evaluation found that DINP poses an unreasonable risk to human health, particularly due to non-cancer effects like developmental toxicity and liver effects in female workers of reproductive age and other workers exposed to it. The EPA plans to take risk management actions to address these concerns. This includes looking at conditions where exposure to DINP through products like spray adhesives, sealants, and paints may contribute to these health risks.
