Nowadays, few would challenge Alice Hamilton s position that chemists should intentionally design chemicals to be safe in addition to being efficacious with regard to use. However, until statutory changes are made in the TSCA that authorize the EPA to require that chemical manufacturers provide evidence of safety of new industrial chemical substances before such substances can be marketed, the concept of designing safer chemicals will never fully be adopted, regardless of how many more well-written papers or books are published on the topic. 

Synonyms and trade names acetic aldehyde, aldehyde, ethanol, ethylaldehyde Use and exposure Acetaldehyde is a highly flammable, volatile, colorless liquid with a characteristic and pungent odor. It is miscible in water. Exposure to acetaldehyde occurs during the production of acetic acid and various other industrial chemical substances—for instance, manufacture of drugs, dyes, explosives, disinfectants, phenolic and urea resins, rubber accelerators, and varnish. - - ...

Toxic Substances Control Act. EPA regulates the manufacture, use, and exposure to ha2ardous or toxic chemicals under a number of laws. Eor the chemical industry, the law of prime concern is the Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA) (10), which was passed by the U.S. Congress in 1976. The two main goals of TSCA are acquisition of sufficient information to identify and evaluate potential ha2ards from chemical substances, and regulation of the production, use, distribution, and disposal of these substances.
