Congressional Disapproval of EPA Toxic Chemical Regulations

This document aims to cancel new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rules on controlling chemicals like Decabromodiphenyl Ether and Isopropylated Phosphate. If Congress approves this, the EPA's new regulations will not take effect, meaning existing rules for these chemicals will remain. This could impact product safety and environmental protection, depending on whether the new rules were more stringent.
Key points
