Vinyl Institute Prepared to Work with EPA on Vinyl Chloride Risk Evaluation

The Vinyl Institute responded to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announcement that vinyl chloride will be one of the next five chemicals selected for prioritization under the Toxic Substances Control Act. Below is a statement to be attributed to Ned Monroe, president and CEO of the Vinyl Institute: 

“Vinyl Institute and our members are fully prepared to work with the EPA during both prioritization and risk evaluation of vinyl chloride. The Agency’s prioritization of vinyl chloride is no surprise to us because it has been part of EPA’s work plan since 2012. The Vinyl Institute has indicated our strong interest to be engaged in the process early, and to serve as a collaborative resource for the Agency to proactively identify and address any information needs that would expedite a high-quality risk evaluation.
