Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) progress in implementing the Toxic Substances Control Act's (TSCA) requirement that it monitor the chemical industry's testing of potentially harmful chemicals, focusing on: (1) actions EPA took after receiving test data; (2) EPA management controls over test data; and (3) EPA dissemination of chemical test results. GAO found that: (1) since enactment of TSCA in 1976, EPA has received health and environmental test results for only 22 chemicals and has assessed the results for 13 of those chemicals; (2) although EPA concluded that three of those chemicals were dangerous, it did not take regulatory action because it believed that the chemicals did not pose significant or unreasonable risk; (3) EPA had no established criteria or methodology for determining when chemicals presented a significant or unreasonable risk; (4) there were numerous unnecessary delays in EPA assessments of chemical test results, with EPA averaging 7.7 years from recommending testing of a specific chemical to completing its evaluation of test results; (5) lack of management control and attention and failure to resolve testing problems in a timely manner caused many of the delays; (6) EPA reported its limited chemical testing as a material weakness and instituted several actions to encourage voluntary testing, international cooperation, and more efficient coordination with the chemical industry; and (7) TSCA test results were not readily accessible to researchers, other regulatory agencies, or the interested public, and the EPA method for making test results available was not always effective.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO evaluated the Interagency Testing Committee's (ITC) and Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) implementation of the chemical testing program under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). GAO found that: (1) EPA and ITC had identified for testing less than 1 percent of the more than 60,000 chemicals in the TSCA inventory; (2) neither ITC nor EPA had produced a list of chemicals that did not require testing; (3) since the enactment of TSCA, EPA had completed test data for only six chemicals and had not finished assessing those; (4) ITC members' poor attendance may have contributed to its lack of crucial data it needed to make recommendations; (5) after proposing test rules, EPA continued to take an average of more than 2 years to make them final; and (6) the EPA and ITC testing program lacked overall objectives and a strategy for achieving them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided detailed information on 16 of 22 chemicals tested by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for health and environmental effects, focusing on: (1) testing and review time frames; (2) EPA test data reviews; and (3) EPA actions in response to its findings. GAO found that: (1) as of June 1991, EPA had completed its review of test results for 16 of 22 chemicals which met data submission requirements; (2) EPA plans no further action on 7 of the 16 chemicals with negative test results; (3) despite test results indicating potential adverse effects, EPA plans no further action on an eighth chemical because its exposure to people or the environment was low; (4) four of the eight remaining chemicals showed adverse effects and EPA referred those chemicals to other agencies and EPA offices for possible regulatory action; (5) EPA was planning additional testing for two other chemicals that did not indicate potential adverse effects, but were of sufficient concern to warrant testing; (6) EPA was waiting for the results of further ongoing testing before deciding what action to take on the final two chemicals; (7) from their nomination for testing through the completion of EPA reviews, the average time required for testing the 16 completed chemicals was 8 years; and (8) when the industry does not agree with the testing plan and time frames, EPA can issue a final test rule, under which industry must conduct the testing program according to EPA specifications.

Book excerpt: A world awash in little understood chemicals tragically harms adults and children alike. Laws keep health agencies in the dark about toxicants, slow, well motivated research hampers protections, and strenuous vested opposition exacerbates the harm. How science is used in the tort law can facilitate or frustrate redress of harm. This book recommends better approaches.
