Abstract

We think that exposures to hazardous substances migrating from FCAs require more attention. We recommend <i>a</i>) limiting the number and types of chemicals authorized for manufacture and <i>b</i>) developing novel approaches for assessing the safety of chemicals in FCAs, including unidentified chemicals that form during or after production. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP644.
