"EPA Increases Public Access To Chemical Data"

"The Environmental Protection Agency moved on Tuesday to increase the amount of data made available to the public on regulated chemicals.

The changes are being made to its 'one-stop online tool' called ChemView, the agency said, which provides information on chemicals regulated under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).

'In the absence of TSCA reform, EPA is moving ahead to improve access to chemical health and safety information, and increase the dialogue to help the public choose safer ingredients used in everyday products,' said James Jones, assistant administrator for the Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention."
