Congress reaches deal to overhaul chemical safety rules
A bipartisan deal would update the Toxic Substances Control Act, setting new safety standards for asbestos and thousands of other chemicals. The measure, backed by Boxer and Markey and supported by some conservatives, would allow states to regulate before federal rules and require safety reviews for existing and new chemicals. It aims to protect pregnant women, children, and workers from harms linked to everyday products.
