# Special Counsel Joseph J. Green Mentioned in Article on EPA’s Review of Hexavalent Chromium

 January 21, 2011

 

 

 

 

 

 

In an *American Metal Market* article titled ​“Steel Trade Groups Challenging Chromium Review by EPA,” Special Counsel Joseph J. Green was quoted. The article discussed the steel industry recommendation that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) not adopt a draft toxicological review on hexavalent chromium until it has reviewed an important new American Chemistry Council (ACC) study. The standards determined in the EPA’s toxicological review will have a significant impact on site cleanup requirements and federal and state regulations, including the pending review of the chromium drinking water standard.

Mr. Green wrote a letter on behalf of the organizations involved, where he noted ​“the EPA research was mainly carried out on laboratory rats with a 1,000-fold higher exposure to hexavalent chromium than the typical human might be exposed to.”
