What are the challenges in implementing the Lautenberg Act?
Despite its strengths, the Lautenberg Act faces several challenges in implementation. One significant hurdle is the sheer volume of substances that need evaluation, as thousands of chemicals currently in use require assessment. Limited resources and funding can constrain the EPA's ability to conduct timely reviews. Additionally, balancing industry interests with public health concerns and dealing with uncertainties in scientific data are ongoing challenges that the EPA must navigate.
