In the United States, the primary legislation is the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Administered by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), TSCA gives the EPA authority to require reporting, record-keeping, and testing of chemicals. The FIFRA (Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act) regulates pesticides, while the FDCA (Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act) governs the safety of food, drugs, and cosmetics.
