Schf_webinar_111309

This webinar will provide an opportunity to understand The
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and its reform as well as to hear
from some leading businesses on why policy reform is important to them.

The Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976 is broken. The U.S. EPA
has only required testing on about 200 of the more than 82,000
chemicals that have been on the market since the law passed in 1976. Federal action is needed. 

For the first time in decades, we have a real opportunity to fix
this problem at its source— and to start to rebuild our economy based
on safer chemicals, materials and products that protect future
generations from serious health and environmental harm. Downstream
users of chemicals are now demanding federal change. It is time to pass
a strong bill to reform TSCA—and start putting common-sense limits on
toxic chemicals.
