Methylene Chloride

Methylene chloride is a clear, colorless liquid with a slightly sweet scent that is primarily used as an industrial solvent and as a potent paint stripper and paint thinner.  Methylene chloride is a volatile chemical used in a wide range of industrial, commercial, and consumer applications like adhesives, sealants, degreasers, cleaners, and automobile products.
 
EPA Rule release in 2024
Requires employers to comply with the Develop Workplace Chemical Protection Program (WCCP) including performing employee exposure air monitoring to ensure they do not exceed EPA or OSHA limits.  The EPA determined this presents an unreasonable risk of injury to human health under the conditions of use.  EPA requires employers to complete air monitoring by May 2025.
