It’s been almost five years since the Frank R Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act overhauled TSCA in the US. Some have called the intervening years “transformational”, and most would agree that the changes have had a significant impact on industry.
What happens under TSCA in the coming years will depend, at least to some extent, on the US EPA’s agenda under the new Biden administration. But whatever the outcome, we can expect continued debates surrounding risk evaluations, new chemical reviews, TSCA fees and more.
Chemical Watch is committed to helping our community understand both the basics and intricacies of TSCA through our regular news coverage, in-depth features, conferences, training and expert assistance from our analyst team. We can also help you stay up to date with state-level developments across the US.
