Preparing For Evolving TSCA Chemical Risk Evaluations

Are your occupational exposure data sufficient to meet EPA requirements during and after existing chemical risk evaluations?

The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) was enacted in 1976 to protect workers and communities from toxic chemicals used in industrial and other processes. Since then, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has conducted scientific evaluations of potentially dangerous chemicals to determine whether they present risks to human health or the environment when used as intended. EPA relies on research data and data from the organizations and companies that use these chemicals to formulate their evaluations and, ultimately, inform regulations. The agency also considers the cost of using alternative chemicals, both in terms of the chemical itself and implementing and scaling new processes to industry.
