Motivated by TRAA friend and former Managing Director of the U.S. Chemical Safety Board Daniel Horowitz’ New York Times Opinion Piece This Chemical Kills. Why Aren’t Regulators Banning It?, TRAA has stepped onto the national scene in support of President Biden’s Executive Order Protecting Public Health and the Environment and Restoring Science To Tackle the Climate Crisis. In its first foray, TRAA coordinated spoken and written comments on the dangers of HF for EPA’s virtual public listening sessions on an enlightened Risk Management Plan (RMP) rule and submitted a proposed amendment to the RMP Rule that would compel refineries to convert from HF to a vastly safer alternative.
