TSCA Oral History Project

Calls for chemical reform have gained momentum at the state and national levels. While nearly everyone involved can agree that change is needed, debates center on whether or not TSCA—the Toxic Substances Control Act—can still work as the backbone of a chemicals policy in the United States. In this oral history project we conduct in-depth interviews with individuals involved in the process of writing and negotiating TSCA: we gain their perspective on the law, what it has done, and whether or not it can continue to work in the 21st century.
