- Authors
Singla, Veena I.; Sutton, Patrice M.; Woodruff, Tracey J.
- Abstract
An editorial is presented which addresses the claim that the U.S. 1976 Toxic Substances Control Act's (TSCA's) systematic review method could have a detrimental impact on science-based decision making, American public health, and pregnant women and children that are vulnerable to chemical exposures. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention is addressed, along with a disregard for research findings.
