Publisher Summary This chapter provides a general understanding of what/how chemicals are regulated in the United States and of compliance considerations for the regulated community. It represents conditions exclusive of the European Union's December 2006 passage of the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) legislation, which may change future U.S. chemical practices. Although many chemicals are regulated in the United States through environmental laws, this chapter mainly focuses on chemicals in commerce, not in wastes or as environmental contaminants. Where possible or important, distinctions is made between products and constituents, both of which may pose chemical exposures to people. |
