Filling gaps in science exposes gaps in chemical regulation
Policy
24 Jun 2020
The regulation of chemicals should protect public health and the environment from undue risk of harm, should promote the development and use of safer alternatives to more hazardous chemicals, and should provide the public with sufficient information to understand how well chemical risks are being managed.
