A proposed bill that calls for emergency regulatory action to protect workers from diacetyl, a chemical linked to lung disease, has met with resistance from the Bush administration.
The bill, submitted to the House of Representatives, would require the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to take immediate action in protecting workers from diacetyl, used in butter flavorings for popcorn and snacks, by limiting how it is used in factories.
