So what can WE do other than being appraised of the situation. It makes no sense actually as it is the ablatives that are the source of the problem based on other studies from the EPA...as I understand it...I'd be curious of the expoxy and silicone based as they have not nearly the toxic or reduction that ablatives have - aren't those kind of bottom
paints considered "hard" - meaning they do not dissolve - and requires more work (for you in terms of effort to scrub / scrape etc...)...
