Chemical Regulation

Chemical regulations are developed with consideration of governing statutory language. The dynamic business and science of chemicals manufacturing and use in domestic and international markets create a myriad of complex legal environmental issues.

The Toxic Substances Control Act provides the core framework for federal oversight of chemical manufacture and use. Decisions made by regulators in this area shape public health protections, industrial practices, innovation growth, and regulatory credibility. Legal experts focus on how to fairly balance these factors.
