Paint stripping chemical IDd as health risk to workers, others
DCM among three final chemical risk assessments issued by EPA
More than 230,000 workers in the U.S. are directly exposed to Dichloromethane (DCM), which is widely used in paint stripping products and poses health risks to those who use the products and even bystanders in workplaces and residences where DCM is used, according to the EPA.
DCM was one of three final risk assessments released by the EPA this week for specific uses of three chemicals found in common household products.
