Tariff Surge + TSCA Crackdown: A Double Whammy! In-Depth Analysis of Regulatory Red Lines and Risk Mitigation Strategies
The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) is a major U.S. regulation governing industrial chemicals. Enacted by the U.S. Congress in 1976 and effective in 1977, it is administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The Act aims to comprehensively evaluate the environmental, economic, and social impacts of chemical substances, preventing “unreasonable risks” to human health and the environment.

These reforms strengthen the management and regulation of chemicals, particularly the oversight of both new and existing chemical substances.
