ACC Submits Plan To Help EPA Prioritize Chemicals For TSCA Review

摘要

The American Chemistry Council has unveiled a new "scientifically based" system to prioritize chemicals for regulatory review. The proposed plan could be used by the Environmental Protection Agency as it evaluates chemicals under the Toxic Substances Control Act, the trade association says in a Sept. 6 release. "Establishing a clear and scientifically sound prioritization process is key to creating a world-class chemical management system," says ACC President and CEO Cal Dooley. The prioritization system "will help EPA evaluate chemicals more efficiently and effectively and improve public confidence in the agency's regulation of chemicals."
