The Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families Coalition Releases a Report in Support of Reforming the Toxic Substances Control Act
This report is based on the premise that the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) of 1976 does not adequately protect Americans from toxic chemicals. In the 34 years since TSCA was enacted, the EPA has been able to require testing on 200 of the more than 80,000 chemicals produced and used in the U.S., and five chemicals have been regulated under this law. The Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families coalition believes that, by reforming TSCA, exposure to toxic chemicals can be reduced, the nation’s health will improve, and health care costs will decrease. This report documents some of the scientific findings and economic analysis underlying this position. For access to this report, please click here:
