The EPA’s Scientific Advisory Committee on Chemicals (SACC) just released the final report for #formaldehyde. The reviewers note significant concerns with the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)’s science and process, including the failure to incorporate dozens of high-quality studies as well as assessments by authoritative bodies like the World Health Organization and European Union that have been raised by other peer reviewers, scientific experts, and the public for over a decade.

Don't forget to register for tomorrow's webinar by the new Naphthalene Work Group, a collaboration between the American Chemistry Council and the API - American Petroleum Institute.
The Naphthalene Webinar Scheduled for July 11 has been rescheduled to August 6th. To accommodate a scheduling conflict, the Naphthalene Workgroup’s webinar scheduled for Thursday July 11, 2024, has been moved to Tuesday August 6, 2024, at 11:00-11:30 ET. Those who have registered for the July 11th event will not have to re-register for the August 6th Webinar. The American Chemistry Council and the American Petroleum Institute launched the Naphthalene Workgroup earlier this month to respond to EPA’s forthcoming release of the draft IRIS Assessment for naphthalene in FY 2025. The group will also focus on preparing for EPA’s eventual prioritization of naphthalene under the Toxic Substances Control Act, and it will review and comment on the draft toxicological profile for naphthalene released by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry in May 2024. The Naphthalene Workgroup’s webinar will be a 30-minute event aimed at manufacturers and processors of naphthalene and related products. During this event, members of the workgroup will provide critical background on these federal actions and the potential impact on industry, the impetus for the coalition’s formation, the members’ perspectives on the regulatory proposals in question, and how you can become involved. To register for the webinar, please visit https://lnkd.in/eqTUZEGd. For more information about the workgroup and its planned approach, please contact Lynn Dekleva, American Chemistry Council, at lynn_dekleva@americanchemistry.com.
