The authors discuss legislative bills in the U.S. Congress including the "Safe Chemicals Act of 2010" that would amend the U.S. Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) of 1976. Features of these bills would address burgeoning concerns about commercial chemicals including bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates, establish state regulations for chemical control, and place the onus of chemical data development on industry rather than the government. The article notes the incentive for TSCA reform that also was represented by Europe's enactment of its "Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemical substances (REACH)" law.
