All the PMBs are Hsted on the U.S. EPA s Toxic Substances Control Act NonConfidential Chemical Substances Inventory (Table 8). In the early to mid-1980s, pseudocumene, mesitylene, hemimellitene, and trimethylbenzene were coveted by TSCA Section 8(a) Preliminary Assessment Information Rule (PAIR) reporting requirements (22) and by TSCA Section 8(d) for health and safety data (23). Mesitylene is the subject of a test rule subacute oral toxicity and subchtonic oral toxicity in tats were underway in 1994 (24). The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) allows monitoring for pseudocumene and mesitylene at the discretion of the State (25). Of the PMBs, only pseudocumene is subject to SARA Tide III section 313 annual release reporting (26). 

All four butanols are registered ia the United States on the Environmental Protection Agency Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Inventory, a prerequisite for the manufacture or importation for commercial sale of any chemical substance or mixture ia quantities greater than a 1000 pounds (454 kg). Additionally, the manufacture and distribution of the butanols ia the United States are regulated under the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA), Section 313, which requires that anyone handling at least 10,000 pounds (4545 kg) a year of a chemical substance report to both the EPA and the state any release of that substance to the environment. 

Another section of the EPA, the Office of Prevention, Pesticides, and Toxic Substances (OPPT), has recently updated and harmonized its testing guidelines for evaluating the developmental and reproductive effects of pesticides and industrial chemicals to include an assessment of endocrine disrupting properties. These guidelines will be used in future testing of pesticides under both the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).

TSCATS is an online index to unpublished, nonconfidential studies covering chemical testing results and adverse effects of chemicals on health and ecological systems. The studies are submitted by US industry to EPA under several sections of the Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA). There are four types of documents in the database Section 4 chemical testing results, Section 8(d) health and safety studies, Section 8(e) substantial risk of injury to health or the environment notices, and voluntary documents submitted to EPA known as a For Your Information (FYI) notice. 

CRAC is the basic client organization within CMA. It consists of 15 company representatives, one-third of which are replaced each year by new representatives. This standing technical committee is served by CMA staff, outside consultants and outside counsel, as appropriate. While the various sections of the Toxic Substances Control Act are interrelated and interdependent this se c t i o n - b y - s e c t i o n task group structure has so far proved extremely effective in dealing with the various proposals which EPA has issued. Our key organizational theme, therefore, has been to utilize a multidisciplinary team concept to...

Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Enacted in 1976, the TSCA provides the EPA with the authority to require testing and to regulate chemicals, both old and new, entering the environment. It was intended to supplement sections of the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, and the Occupational Safety and Health Act that already provide for regulation of chemicals. Manufacturers are required to submit information to allow the EPA to identify and evaluate the potential hazards of a chemical prior to its introduction into commerce. The act also provides for the regulation of production, use, distribution and disposal of chemicals, toxicant See poison, toxicokinetics See pharmacokinetics. 

This one costly human error had a considerable effect on the Congress, just then in the process of hammering out certain provisions of TSCA—The Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976. In particular those sections dealing with the premarket testing of hazardous chemicals, their labeling and distribution were affected (ref. 154). 

In the United States, the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Chemical Substances Inventory (derived from the Initial Inventory of the TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory) is a listing of chemical substances manufactured, imported, or in commercial use in the United States.27 It is not a list of toxic chemicals, since toxicity is not a criterion for inclusion in the list. It was developed in response to Section 8 (d) of the TSCA, public law 94-469, and was prepared by the U.S. EPA.

Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA 15 U.S. Code 2600 et seq.) If a chemical s manufacture, processing, distribution, use, or disposal would create unreasonable risks, the U.S. EPA, under the TSCA (40 CFR section 700, et seq.), can regulate it, ban it, or require additional testing. 

Carbonyl sulfide is also regulated under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Fiability Act (CERCFA). Releases of substances on the CERCFA list of hazardous substances that are in excess of a specified reportable quantity must be reported to the United States Environmental Protection Agency s National Response Center. The reportable quantity for carbonyl sulfide is 100 pounds. Carbonyl sulfide is also subject to regulation under the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act, Title III, Sections 311, 312, and 313, and Section 4 of the Toxic Substances Control Act.

Section 6(e) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) prohibits the manufacture, processing, and distribution in commerce of PCBs. In addition, the EPAhas set a limit of 0.0005 milligrams of PCBs per liter of drinking water (0.0005 mg/L). Discharges, spills or accidental releases of 1 pound or more of PCBs into the environment must be reported to the EPA. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires that infant foods, eggs, milk and other dairy products, fish and shellfish, poultry and red meat contain no more than 0.2-3 parts of PCBs per million parts (0.2-3 ppm) of food.
