Behind the latest headlines with the Chemical Watch podcast

摘要

This week's Chemical Watch news podcast sees North America managing editor Terry Hyland, Asia desk editor David Macfarlane and Europe desk editor Luke Buxton join news editor Charlotte Niemiec to discuss the latest developments. In this episode, we look at the regulation of five persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic (PBT) substances under TSCA in the US. NGOs, scientists and attorneys general have called for the rules to be toughened, while industry groups have claimed they need significantly more time to comply with at least one of the bans, for PIP 3:1.
