Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin said Wednesday that the EPA will regulate dozens of phthalate chemical uses, after a review found that it posed “unreasonable risks to workers and the environment.”

The EPA is expected to regulate usage of Butyl Benzyl Phthalate, Dibutyl Phthalate, Dicyclohexyl Phthalate, Diethylhexyl Phthalate and Diisobutyl Phthalate, which are commonly used to make plastics more flexible, according to Breitbart.

The move comes after the review concluded that exposure to an unsafe level of the chemicals in certain settings could cause reproductive health issues in men and women.

“The Trump EPA just completed our TSCA risk evaluation of phthalates; the most comprehensive assessment of phthalates ever conducted by EPA,” Zeldin said on X. “We are now announcing that, following gold standard science, promoting radical transparency of the research and data, and to Make America Healthy Again, we will regulate dozens of phthalate chemical uses after finding unreasonable risks to workers and the environment.

“MAHA activists were right, and the Trump EPA strongly agrees,” he continued. “Exposures in certain settings exceed safe levels and could cause endocrine disruption and reproductive health impacts.”
