The Story
A trio of green groups sued the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on Friday over its approval of two new chemicals for semiconductor manufacturing.
The groups argue the EPA allowed potentially dangerous substances to be sold despite acknowledging gaps in its understanding of their health risks. Environmental and community groups sued the Trump administration over its approval of these two unnamed chemicals for use in the semiconductor industry. The groups claim the chemicals pose health risks. The lawsuit challenges the EPA's decision to approve the chemicals for use in semiconductor manufacturing.
