Trump Making Asbestos Great Again

Trump....Making America Stupid Again.

The Russians even put Trump's face on their asbestos products that they import to America. A product that (apparently) directly/indirectly kills 40,000 Americans annually.

Our amazing Pres. Trump is a great leader and knows what is best for the country.

All patriotic and loyal Americans need to support him and his decisions. ....

Anyone else think it's funny that a group of people who look like they are in their mid to late 40s call themselves the young turks?

The Environmental Protection Agency could become part of Trump's crackdown on Russia by targeting the import of cancer-causing asbestos into the United States.

The EPA said that new regulations to restrict the use of asbestos in the U.S. “would prevent import, including from Russia and anywhere else."

Trump's EPA targets Russia with new rule

Obama was president for eight years...why didn't HIS EPA do this?

A lie-

• In 2018, EPA proposed a SNUR for certain uses of asbestos that are no longer ongoing. EPA is proposing to ensure that the manufacture, import, or processing for the currently unregulated new uses of asbestos identified in the rule are prohibited unless reviewed and approved by EPA. This proposed SNUR broadens EPA’s 1989 restrictions on asbestos products. In the absence of this proposed rule, the importing or processing of asbestos (including as part of an article) for the significant new uses proposed in this rule may begin at any time, without prior notice to EPA. View the proposed rule.

In addition to the regulatory actions listed above, asbestos is one of the first 10 chemicals EPA is reviewing under amended TSCA. The problem formulation document for asbestos issued in May 2018 focuses the scope of the risk evaluation on those exposure pathways associated with TSCA uses that are not subject to other regulatory regimes where exposures are effectively managed, such as the NESHAP, including current and prospective uses for which manufacture, processing, or distribution in commerce is intended, known or reasonably foreseen. EPA intends to finalize the risk evaluation by December 2019. If through its evaluation EPA determines that any of these conditions of use present unreasonable risks, EPA will take prompt action under the statute to address those risks.
