Continued TSCA Reforms
US EPA announced today its commitment to "strengthen and reform chemical management."
According to the press release, "EPA intends to establish a 'Chemicals of Concern' list and is beginning a process that may lead to regulations requiring significant risk reduction measures to protect human health and the environment. The agency’s actions represent its determination to use its authority under the existing Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to the fullest extent possible, recognizing EPA’s strong belief that the 1976 law is both outdated and in need of reform."
TSCA will undoubtedly be a hot topic in 2010!
