EPA accused of manipulating TBBPA safety data; chemical linked to child health risks

Public health advocates allege the EPA under the Trump administration is manipulating safety data on the flame retardant TBBPA, which is widely used in US consumer goods and found in household dust. Independent research suggests combined exposure levels may pose risks, especially to children. The claim is an allegation, and the EPA's response is not yet detailed, leaving the extent of data manipulation unconfirmed.
