Washington, DC–(ENEWSPF)–October 9, 2014.

While four substances were added, bringing the total list to 243, it is the addition of pentacholorphenol (PCP) and its by-products that should raise eyebrows across the United States and perhaps even raise hopes of those fighting against the use of this dangerous chemical that it might be on its way out.
