Environmental group Fighting Dirty is taking a bold stance against the government, filing a lawsuit over proposed changes to the classification and labelling of potentially hazardous chemicals. According to the group, the proposed regulations would allow the UK to adopt weaker standards from other countries, potentially putting citizens at risk of exposure to cancer-causing substances.
