The EPA has released its second round of chemicals and substances to be tested for endocrine disruption. After testing, those that are found to have a significant effect on humans or fauna (lower standard) will most likely be subject to regulation. The agency printed the list of chemicals to be tested under the Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program (EDSP) in the Wednesday, 11/17/2010, Federal Register. The second list of chemicals expands the EDSP to include all pesticides, required by FFDCA, and adds priority drinking water chemicals into the program for screening. Companies that produce, manufacture, use, consume, work with, or import substances included on the second EDSP list should keep a close eye on the agency's testing schedule and results. The list includes 1,1,1,2-tetrachloroethane, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, 1,1,2-trichloroethane, 1,1-dichloroethane, and 1-butanol, aniline, methanol, and hexane.
