"Trump Considers Easing Safety Screenings For Chemicals"

"The Trump administration will consider easing regulations under which it considers the safety of existing chemicals — drawing concerns from public health advocates.

The administration announced Monday that it was weighing a rewrite of the rules that govern safety screenings for these substances, which decide whether they should be restricted.

If implemented, such changes are ultimately expected to prevent further regulations on chemicals.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin described the potential changes as allowing the agency to balance safety with speed."
