美国环保局最终确定全面禁止使用温石棉。 EPA finalizes comprehensive ban on chrysotile asbestos use.

美国环保署 (EPA) 已最终确定对石棉的全面禁令，石棉是一种致命的致癌物质，目前仍在某些产品中使用，此举标志着自 1989 年以来联邦对该物质的首次重大限制。 The EPA has finalized a comprehensive ban on asbestos, a deadly carcinogen still used in some products, in a move that marks the first significant federal restriction on the substance since 1989. 该禁令禁止继续使用温石棉，这是美国仍在使用或进口的唯一已知形式的石棉，被认为是保护公众健康的重要一步。 The ban prohibits ongoing uses of chrysotile asbestos, the only known form of asbestos still used or imported in the US, and is considered a major step to protect public health. 该决定是根据拜登总统的癌症登月计划做出的，该计划旨在终结美国的癌症，并且是 2016 年化学品安全法下第一种被禁止的化学品。 The decision comes under President Biden's Cancer Moonshot initiative, aiming to end cancer in the US, and is the first chemical to be banned under a 2016 chemical safety law.
