Is U.S. (finally) on the verge of chemical safety reform?
Bipartisan, industry support make 2016 likely for passage of Lautenberg Act
Chemical safety advocates are cautiously optimistic about 2016 finally being in the year when Congress takes action to reform the nation’s Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) – 40 years after it was adopted.
“Rare political circumstances have opened a narrow window to pass meaningful reform that protects the health of American families,” according to the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), which is among those backing the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act.
