Quick Glance: EPA Bans Asbestos Despite Decades-Long Partial Ban
  • The EPA has announced a comprehensive ban on asbestos, a carcinogen that is still used in some products such as chlorine bleach, brake pads, and other products, killing tens of thousands of Americans annually.

  • The final rule signifies a significant expansion of EPA regulation under a landmark 2016 law that revamped regulations for tens of thousands of toxic chemicals in everyday products.

  • The new rule would prohibit the use of chrysotile asbestos, the only ongoing use of asbestos in the U.S., found in products like brake linings and gaskets, used to manufacture chlorine bleach and sodium hydroxide.

  • The EPA rule will ban imports of asbestos for chlor-alkali use immediately upon publication, but a ban on most other uses would come into effect in two years.
