EPA issued a proposed rule to restrict the use of 1-Bromopropane in commercial products and industrial workplaces. EPA determined that the chemical compound posed an unreasonable risk to health, including causing various forms of cancer. 1-Bromopropane is used in a wide range of household products and industrial manufacturing, and the proposed rule would greatly limit those uses to only one consumer use and would impose strict workplace protections for industrial use. Comments on the proposed rule were due by Sep. 23, 2024.
