LOS ANGELES — U.S. Sens. Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein have called on the Environmental Protection Agency to take action on hexavalent chromium following a report that found the carcinogen in the tap water of 31 U.S. cities.
In a letter obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press, Boxer, who chairs the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, said she plans to introduce legislation with California colleague Feinstein that would set a deadline for the EPA to establish an enforceable standard for the chemical, also known as chromium 6.
