摘要

At a time when partisan squabbles and election-year politics dominate the headlines, Congress did something remarkable in June 2016: it passed the most significant piece of environmental legislation in a quarter century. The Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act amends and comprehensively overhauls the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), a 40-year-old statute with a disapproval rating potentially higher than that of Congress itself. Unlike the Clean Air Act or Clean Water Act, which focus on preventing or remedying pollution, the focus of TSCA was upstream. The intent of the legislation was for the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to look at the universe of chemicals in commerce and regulate those chemicals that posed an "unreasonable risk" to human health or the environment. TSCA may also have represented the high-water mark in congressional optimism (or hubris): it turned out here were significant quantities of about 60,000 chemicals in commerce when TSCA was enacted. Over 20,000 more have been added since.

Lautenberg）的《 21世纪化学品安全法》进行了修订，并全面修订了《有毒物质控制法》（TSCA），这是一部已​​有40年历史的法规，被否决的等级可能高于国会本身的等级。与《清洁空气法》或《清洁水法》侧重于预防或补救污染不同，TSCA的重点是上游。该立法的目的是让美国环境保护署（EPA）审视商业中的化学物质，并对那些对人类健康或环境构成“不合理风险”的化学物质进行监管。 TSCA可能也代表了国会乐观（或自大）的最高水位：事实证明，颁布TSCA时，商业中有大约60,000种化学药品的大量使用。此后，又增加了20,000多个。
