What Are the Key Laws Governing Toxic Substances?

Several laws govern the use and regulation of toxic substances. In the United States, the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) grants the EPA authority to oversee the production, importation, and disposal of specific chemicals. The Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act regulate emissions and discharges of pollutants, including toxic chemicals, into the air and water, respectively. These laws are designed to minimize human and environmental exposure to hazardous substances.
