⚠️ EPA Bans Toxic Chemical Used in Dry Cleaning, Glue, Stain Removers The new rule will ban the manufacture and processing of trichloroethylene (TCE) for most products within one year, allowing a longer phaseout period for TCE use in aircraft, medical devices and some other applications. TCE is a known human carcinogen and is also linked to birth defects and liver and kidney disease, as well as a surge in global Parkinson’s disease diagnoses. “With no doubt that these chemicals are deadly, there is no doubt that this final rule will save lives – especially our children’s lives – around the country,” Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) said in a statement.
