> The Environmental Protection Agency announced on Monday the ban of two known carcinogens used in a variety of consumer products and industrial settings, in rules that underscore President Joe Biden’s efforts to seemingly streamline environmental protections against harmful chemicals ahead of a new administration.
> The announcement includes the complete ban of trichloroethylene — also known as TCE — a substance found in common consumer and manufacturing products including degreasing agents, furniture care and auto repair products.
> In addition, the agency banned all consumer uses and many commercial uses of perc — also known as tetrachloroethylene and PCE — an industrial solvent long used in applications such as dry cleaning and auto repair.
