Mu 3 Mukubwekaangala, 2023, EPA yakagwisya mulawu wa Section 6(a) Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) mulawu wakulesya kupanga, kunjizya, kubamba, kwaabila, akubelesya dichloromethane. kubelesya solvent muzintu zisiyene-siyene zyakubelesya azyamakwebo. Ooyu ngomulawu wakusaanguna wa EPA wakulanganya ntenda kuzwa nibakamwaya bupanduluzi bwa ntenda bupya mwaka wamana kweendelanya anzila mpya "yakubelesya misamu yoonse" amulawu uuyanda kuti babelesi batasami zibelesyo zyakulikwabilila (PPE). . Alimwi chitondezya kuyungizigwa kupati kwamilawu iikasyigwa iibeleka kumakemikalu aali kale munsi lyamilawu ya TSCA yakulanganya ntenda, nikuba kuti milawu eeyo yakali miyumu loko mubweendelezi bwa EPA bwakaindi.
EPA yasala kukasya kupanga, kubamba akwaabila dichloromethane kuti ibelesyegwe mumaanda; kukasya kubelesya dichloromethane mumakkampani amumakwebo; chiyanda kuti bubambe bwakukwabilila busena bwakubelekela bwamakemikalu (WCPP) buzumanane kubeleka akupa chiindi chifwiifwi chakubelesya misamu iikola kweendelana a TSCA Section 6(g) yakubelesya methylene chloride eeyo iikonzya kunyonganya lukwabililo lwachisi azintu ziyandikana. Basikutola lubazu bajisi kusikila mu July 3, 2023 kuti baambe aatala amulawu ooyu.
Mukusala nzila zyakweendelezya ntenda zya dichloromethane, EPA yakajana kuti kubelesya musamu ooyu cakwiinduluka-induluka kuli basikuula, mumakwebo, amumakkampani kuyandika ntaamu zyamilawu, ikapati kulesya, mbuli mbokutondezyedwe mu Table 3 yamulawu wakayeeyelwa. Bunji bwazintu eezyi zibikkilizya, pesi tazimani pe, kubelesya methylene chloride mumafakitali amumakwebo mukusalazya zintu, penti azintu zyakuvwumba (akusanzya), kugwisya mafuta aamuwo, zintu zyakunamatika, zintu zyakujala, zintu zyakujala, zisani amasani, azintu zyakulanganya myootokala. , mafuta aamafuta, kukwabilila mapaipi, kuboola mafuta aamuwo, zisobano, zibelesyo zyakusobanya azisobano, azintu zyapulasitiki a raba. EPA alimwi yakabona kuti kubelesya kwa dichloromethane ababelesi boonse kweelede kulesyegwa.
EPA yaamba kuti ziyandikana mumuzeezo ooyu zilakasya kubelesya zintu zipa kuti kube chisela chazyotatwe zyakupanga kwamwaka woonse (TSCA akubelesya kutali kwaTSCA) kwa methylene chloride, "kusiya zintu zyiingi zikonzya kubelesyegwa EPA." kuzumanana kubelesya Eezyi zibelesyo zipati naakuti zitaanzi zilachitika kwiinda mu Critical Use Exemption naakuti WCPP.
EPA niyajana kuti chintu chimwi chili muntenda iitali kabotu kubuumi bwabantu naakuti busena mukulanga ntenda, yeelede kubikka nzila zyakweendelezya ntenda kusikila mpokugolela kuchitila kuti eecho chintu chitachikwe ntenda ziliboobu. Notubikka milawu yakulesya kweendelezya ntenda kumusamu, EPA yeelede kulanga-langa mpindu zyamulawu ooyu, kubikkilizya amali aasangwa abubotu, kugwasya kwamulawu, antoomwe akuti mulawu ooyu ulakonzya kugwasya mubuvubi, makwebo masyoonto, akupanga zintu zipya. naa musamu ooyu weelede kulesyegwa Kuli nzila zimbi zikonzya kugwasya.
EPA yakapa muzeezo wakukasya kubelesya methylene chloride amazuba aatalika kubeleka:
EPA alimwi yakatalisya zizibisyo akubamba zilembedwe kumakkampani aasambala methylene chloride kuli basikuula.
Kubelesya dichloromethane kugwisya penti azintu zyakuvwumba kuti zibelesyegwe abasikuula takubikkilizyidwe mukukasya ooku, nkaambo kubelesya ooku kwabikkilizyidwe kale amulawu wa EPA wakulanganya ntenda wakapegwa mu 2019, ooyo uulembedwe mu 40 CFR § 751.101.
Chipanzi 6(g) cha TSCA chizumizya EPA kuti igwisye nzila zimbi kuzwa kuzyeelelo zyamumulawu wakulanganya ntenda zyakubelesya ziyandikana loko eezyo EPA nzyabona kuti zilajanika. Alimwi chilazumizya kulekelelwa kuti EPA yabona kuti kutobela mulawu ooyu inga kwanyonganya buvubi bwacisi, lukwabililo lwachisi, naakuti zibelesyo ziyandikana. Bbazu lyakukwabilila busena lyaku Amelika lilalumbaizya kuti methylene chloride itabelesyegwi kapati muzyiimo zitobela:
EPA's WCPP yakayeeyelwa yakubelesya dichloromethane ibikkilizya aziyandikana zyoonse zyakukwabilila babelesi kuzwa kukujatikizigwa, kubikkilizya akukwabilila kuyoya, kubelesya PPE, kulanga-langa kujatwa, kuyiisya, amasena aazumizyidwe. Nchintu chibotu kuzyiba kuti EPA yakapa muzeezo wakuti kube mweelwe wakubelesya misamu iikola (ECEL) ya methylene chloride iili mumulengalenga iinda ku 2 parts per million (ppm) kweendelanya a 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA), eeyo iili munsi kapati a OSHA's current Permissible Exposure Limit ( PEL) ya dichlome ppm. Nchito iiyeeyelwa kuchitwa inga yaba haafu ya ECEL, eeyo iikonzya kuchita kuti kube milimu imwi yakulanga-langa kuchitila kuti babelesi batajatikizyigwi azintu zili atala a ECEL. EPA alimwi ilalumbaizya kubikka mweelwe wakutondezya kwachiindi chifwiifwi (EPA STEL) wa 16 ppm mukati kachiindi chakutola musamu chamaminiti aali kkumi amusanu.
Muciindi chakukasya, EPA yakapa muzeezo wakukwabilila babelesi mubukkale butobela bwakubelesya:
Kubamba: Mbuli chintu chibelesegwa. Kozyiba kuti EPA ilazumizya kubelesya ooku kuti kuzumanane aansi aa WCPP nkaambo ilabona kuti mweelwe mupati wa dichloromethane ulabelesegwa alimwi kubelesegwa ooku, mpawo woonse ulabelesyegwa kupanga HFC-32. HFC-32 nimwi yazintu zyeendelezyegwa aansi amulawu wa American Innovation and Manufacturing Act (AIM Act) wa 2020. EPA ilangila kuti kwiinda mukuzumizya HFC-32, ooku kubamba milawu takukonzyi kukasya kusoleka kwakugwisya misamu iikonzya kuleta kupya kwanyika.
Kubelesya mumafakitali naa mumakwebo kugwisya penti azintu zivwumbidwe kuzwa kuzintu ziyandika kapati, zikonzya kubola alimwi azibeela zyandeke zyamumulengalenga zili mumaanza aa US Department of Defense, NASA, Homeland Security, alimwi a Federal Aviation Administration, mbunga, naa mbunga iibeleka mulimo wakukontrakita mumasena, yeendelezyegwa ambunga naa mbunga
Kubelesya mumafakitali naakuti mumakwebo mbuli chintu chakunamatizya acrylic a polycarbonate mumyootokala yabasikalumamba ayamumulengalenga iiyandikana loko, kubikkilizya akupanga mabbattery aalibedelede naakuti basimakkampani.
Basikutola lubazu aabo bapanga, kubamba, kwaabila, naa kubelesya nzila imwi methylene chloride kufwumbwa busena bwakubelesya bwakavwuntauzyigwa a EPA balakonzya kuyandisya kwaamba twaambo tunji twamulawu ooyu uuyeeyelwa. Aabo bajisi luyandisisyo balakonzya kuyeeya kugwasizya ku EPA mumbazu zitobela:
Kulangisisya Nzila Yakulanganya Ntenda Mubukkale Bwakubelesya: Basikutola lubazu balakonzya kuyanda kulanga-langa naa zyeelelo zyakweendelezya ntenda zyaambwa mubukkale buli boonse bwakubelesya zileendelana anzila ya EPA yakulanga-langa ntenda zya methylene chloride mubukkale buli boonse bwakubelesya alimwi a EPA. ™ Nguzu zyamumulawu zili aansi aaChibeela 6 cha TSCA. Mbuli chitondeezyo, ikuti EPA yajana kuti kujatikizyigwa achikumba a methylene chloride mubukkale bumwi bwakubelesya kuletela ntenda iitali kabotu, mpawo kuti EPA yayanda zyiingi kunze lyakukwabilila chikumba kuchitila kuti kutabi ntenda, aabo bajisi lubazu balakonzya kuyanda kulanga-langa kweelela kwazyeezyo ziyandika. .
Miulo: EPA yeezyeezya kuti mali aayungizyidwe aatajalili aajatikizyidwe amulawu ooyu asika ku $13.2 miliyoni mumyaka iili 20 a 3% yakugwisya mali alimwi a $14.5 miliyoni mumyaka iili 20 a 7% yakugwisya mali. Basikutola lubazu balakonzya kuyanda kulanga-langa naa mali aaya ayelede kubelesyegwa alakonzya kubelesyegwa mumbazu zyoonse zyakubelesya mulawo ooyu, kubikkilizya amali aakubelesya alimwi (kukasya kubelesya) naa kutobela zyeelelo zya WCPP kutegwa kuzumanane kubelesyegwa, kubikkilizya akutobela ECEL 2 ppm.
Zyakubelesya zya WCPP: Kuzintu zibelesyegwa eezyo EPA nzyayanda kukasya, aabo bajisi lubazu balakonzya kulanga-langa naa balijisi makani aagwasya kutobela milawo ya WCPP aakonzya kucesya kuzyibwa muciindi cakukasya (ikapati mubukkale bwakubelesya ooko EPA nkoisala WCPP kuti ibe nzila imwi, yakaambwa mumulawo uuyeeyelwa kuti nzila imbi yakulesya basikutola lubazu balakonzya kulanga-langa kukonzeka kwazyeelelo zya WCPP akulanga kutobelezya zyeelelo zya OSHA zya methylene chloride.
