The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has finalized new rules under the Toxic Substances Control Act to ban all uses of trichloroethylene (TCE) and most uses of perchloroethylene (PCE) due to their cancer-causing properties. The rules aim to protect public health by eliminating these chemicals from consumer products and many commercial applications, while allowing limited workplace uses with stringent safety measures. This action supports President Biden's Cancer Moonshot initiative and addresses long-standing environmental health concerns.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced a ban on the use of two chemicals, perchloroethylene (Perc) and trichloroethylene (TCE), commonly used in the dry cleaning industry. This decision is part of an effort to reduce environmental and health risks associated with these substances.

The Biden administration has proposed a ban on trichloroethylene (TCE), an industrial solvent used in various products, due to its link to cancer and other health effects. The proposed ban goes beyond the Obama-era plan by prohibiting all uses of TCE. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) stated that safer alternatives exist for most TCE uses. TCE has been found in drinking water across the country and has been associated with liver, kidney, immune system, and central nervous system effects. The American Chemistry Council, representing chemical manufacturers, believes the proposed rule is inconsistent with the science. The EPA is accepting public comments on the proposed rule for 45 days before finalization.
