The Environmental Protection Agency has released a list of toxic chemicals that will be the first reviewed under a recently enacted law that gives regulators increased authority to ban substances shown to endanger human health. […]
The list includes such common chemicals as asbestos and trichloroethylene that have for decades been known to be hazardous, yet EPA lacked the legal authority necessary to ban their manufacture or use. …

Good, can we bring back DDT?

More destruction of the Industrial Revolution.
Chlordane too,,worked like a charm.
Bad part was people didn’t think a pinch or a drop would work so they over did it.
When are they going to go after oxygen? It is the second most corrosive element in the Universe, and is safe only in combined form.
Of course, locking up oxygen would also deprive most of the life on earth of, well, life.
Reality and actual conditions of life on earth apparently are concepts that the EPA has never been cognizant of.
Fact: SOMETHING(S) in our environment is causing the multiple epidemics of various neurological conditions. Some are showing up before birth, some in early childhood, and MANY in older age. Epidemics cannot be genetic. That would stand logic upside down.
Therefore there are things in our environment that are damaging our brains. It behooves us to avoid them as autism or Alzheimer’s makes life for the whole family too difficult. Sometimes these and other conditions make life itself not quite worthwhile. Read that last sentence again for it is true. We need serious research without bias.
I’d like to see investigations into the pervasiveness of glyphosate (within us and without us) as well as leaching plastics. I think those two could be huge culprits, along with any toxins injected into pregnant women and babies from vaccines. Don’t flame me. I am merely presenting some suspects, not convicting without scientific proof. You know damn well we are poisoning ourselves somehow. We need to find out how.
And for good reason.
Next thing we know, those morons will be declaring ammonia or maybe PAM to be a "toxic waste" and whatever it is immediately falls under their purview.
These are the same idiots who declared carbon dioxide to be a "greenhouse gas" so they could start regulating it.
The EPA is one of those agencies that needs to be trimmed down to nothing, and quick!
How about dihydrogen monoxide? People die from it all the time.

Welcome to the web site for the Dihydrogen Monoxide Research Division (DMRD), currently located in Newark, Delaware. The controversy surrounding dihydrogen monoxide has never been more widely debated, and the goal of this site is to provide an unbiased data clearinghouse and a forum for public discussion.
Explore our many Special Reports, including the DHMO FAQ, a definitive primer on the subject, plus reports on the environment, cancer, current research, and an insider exposé about the use of DHMO in the dairy industry.
Regulation for the sake of regulation either as punishment to the American people delivered by Obama, to drive up prices, or remove something that could be used in the place of something that some pharmaceutical company wants to charge you 500 times what it costs, right?
Saw an excellent documentary on DDT.
3 Billion and Counting
Should be required viewing for every Black Lives Matter
protester out there.
The AP once again publishes stuff that shows how ignorant they really are.
I am an attorney who at one time specialized in compliance issues related to the Toxic Substances Control Act, referenced in this Associated Press article. One point I might make is that certainly EPA can regulate nearly all substances under TSCA, but “banning” is different from “regulating” - although one strategy EPA uses is to regulate something to death.
Anyway, don’t bother linking to the article if you want to learn anything beyond the headline.
Time for one of those Watters’ World segments where they line-up to sign petitions banning Dihydrogen Oxide.
DHMO is a huge underestimated killer
Glyphosate is used as a herbicide. It is less toxic and less durable in the environment than most of the herbicides that would replace it if it were to be withdrawn. You are no more likely to ingest trace amounts of glyphosate than you are of any other herbicide or pesticide. If you simply like the taste and go to your local garden center for Roundup to put on your pancakes, that's your business. But otherwise, wash your food before you eat it, and you won't beg exposed to any of that nasty farmer stuff.
Or you can go organic, if you prefer food grown in poop and containing higher levels of various contaminants as a result.
Good, can we bring back DDT?”
No. You will not be allowed to use anything if it kills weeds, ants, cleans your dishes, toilets or clothes, or anything containing bleach.
There'll be a campaign to outlaw oxygen too if they ever figure out a way to make sure only humans die, not other oxygen-breathing critters. We humans are not part of Nature, you know.
Thanks for your comment, I avoid food grown in poop!
No organic for me.
