Industry urged to prepare for TSCA risk management rules, rise in litigation

摘要

Companies could better position themselves for TSCA risk management rules and the litigation likely to follow by providing the US EPA with information on the use, existing safety measures and exposure data of chemicals that are subject to regulation, experts said at the annual GlobalChem conference on 30 March. Without high-quality data, the EPA will use predictive models to gauge chemical exposures and could make conservative assumptions when deciding how to manage risk for the first ten substances, Laura Gooding, assistant general counsel at the American Chemistry Council (ACC) said on 30 March, at the trade group's annual conference.
