😳 #EPA Approved a Fuel Ingredient Even Though It Could Cause #Cancer in Virtually Every Person Exposed Over a Lifetime

EPA document shows that a new #Chevron fuel ingredient has a lifetime cancer risk more than 1 million times higher than what the agency usually finds acceptable — even greater than another Chevron fuel’s sky-high risk disclosed earlier this year.

@GottaLaff wha??? Is the EPA run by Trump people? Omg
@GottaLaff
Wow, this plus the radioactive road materials Dick-Santis approved for Florida should clear an entire population in no time!
@GottaLaff man, I don't always wear masks outdoors, but I'm certainly tempted to start.

@GottaLaff

As understandable as this article is, what I don't understand is why they don't name those chemicals that are being called safe or unsafe. Readers deserve to know those chemicals' names, among other details. How are we to fight products that don't have a chemical signature or name? Or is the purpose of this article clickbait rather than monitoring and activism?

@GottaLaff

It's all part of the dumbing down of journalism, I'm afraid. I just read an article talking about a spontaneous funnel cloud without ever calling it a tornado or comparing it to tornadoes, if it isn't one. They think their readers are stupid. Or are their articles being written by A.I. already?

@aka_quant_noir @GottaLaff "the EPA had blacked out sections, including the chemicals’ names"
@GottaLaff Wait a minute — was this by any chance approved by a Trump-era (gutted) "business-friendly" EPA?
@GottaLaff I’m shocked that money and business were prioritized over health and people. Shocked. 😏
