The Environmental Protection Agency said on September 4 that a draft evaluation has preliminarily determined that 1,2-dichloropropane poses an unreasonable risk to human health, driven primarily by certain conditions of use. The word preliminarily is doing real work here. This is a draft document opened for public comment, not a final determination, and it imposes no restriction on any use of the chemical.
