The growing concern in the United States about the safety of chemicals in our environment makes the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) authored by Miriam V. Gold & Jean Warshaw, a timely topic. TSCA is the primary vehicle for enabling the government to review most chemicals, other than foods, drugs, cosmetics and pesticides, before they are introduced into commerce. Last year's dramatic recall of children's toys tainted with lead has increased the calls for thorough information about the chemicals in our environment. In addition, the lightening speed of nanotechnology development threatens to leave regulators with very few tools to address the environmental and toxicological effects of nanomaterials. This book is a unique resource for lawyers and regulatory affairs specialists who need to understand the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), including the surrounding law, regulations and guidances. This volume includes a CD-ROM containing a broad array of resource materials, references to other supporting source materials, and procedures to implement an integrated TSCA compliance plan.

The 2016 edition is available as of November 2016, and is completely revised to address the many reforms in the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety Act of 2016. which became law on June 22, 2016. The new title of the book is The Toxic Substances Control Act: Reformed by the Lautenberg Act. .
The changes brought about by the Lautenberg Act are addressed in an integrated manner together with the surviving requirements of the pre-reform law. Readers can avoid the annoyance of having to read multiple documents to understand the new TSCA programs. .This edition also has revised ISO-compliant standard operating procedures that incorporate the new Lautenberg Act requirements, and has an updated chapter on state chemical regulation laws. The CD-ROM has been discontinued as the EPA's website has become a more robust archive of source materials. We have retained and expanded the extensive footnotes to case law, regulations, and EPA guidances.
Miriam V. Gold and Jean Warshaw have over 40 years combined experience as in-house counsel in the chemical industry.
