Senate committee cross questions EPA Administrator on chemical policy
Scott Pruitt again says agency may reverse policy and consider 'legacy' asbestos uses

In a Capitol Hill appearance, US EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt appeared to say for a second time that the agency would reverse its policy and consider legacy uses in its review of asbestos.

Mr Pruitt was answering questions at a 30 January hearing convened by the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works.

The PA Administrator avoided direct answers to questions on how the agency would address chemicals such as perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), whether it is dragging its feet on priority chemical reviews, and whether it is abandoning proposals to restrict the use of methylene chloride, n-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) and trichloroethylene (TCE).
