B&C encourages interested parties to review the revised draft risk determination on carbon tetrachloride, and the other recent revised draft risk determinations (e.g., PCE, NMP, MC, TCE, and 1-BP).

The rule, released Dec. 11, bans uses of the chemical that have already been phased out. Carbon tetrachloride is used primarily as a raw material to make other chemicals.

Acute carbon tetrachloride toxicity is a life-threatening condition that may involve multiple organ dysfunction such as the liver, lungs and kidneys according to the National Institutes of Health.

Carbon tetrachloride is one of the first 10 high-priority chemicals that the EPA is evaluating under amendments made to the Toxic Substances Control Act in 2016.
