A new draft Senate bill proposes changes to the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) – the nation’s primary chemical safety law.

TSCA requires the EPA to review chemicals for safety before they’re widely used in products found in our homes, schools and workplaces.

This follows a House proposal in January, meaning changes to TSCA are now being considered in both chambers of Congress.

Strong chemical safeguards protect all of us – and they’re worth speaking up for.
