SLaSZT, 7 months ago to fuck_cars in EPA sides with tribes on petition to regulate toxic tire chemical that kills salmon

Any premature prohibition on the use of 6PPD in tires would be detrimental to public safety and the national economy.

...What about the safety of my body? Or the health of children and animals? It's not as if tire waste dumped into the ocean just stays in the US, this could be affecting Canada and Central America too, as well as other places.

I don't understand how a manufacturer's consortium can basically be like, "we don't want to spend the money to find a new chemical that works similarly on short notice, so we're just going to lobby to poison you indefinitely."

Im grateful. They are fighting this heroic battle not just for salmon but for everyone, because a functional ecosystem is in everyone’s best interest.
