EPA Makes Chemical Information More Accessible to Public

EPA Makes Chemical Information More Accessible to Public
For the first time, TSCA chemical inventory free of charge online

"As part of Administrator Lisa P. Jackson's strong commitment to increase information on chemicals, for the first time, EPA is providing web access, free of charge, to the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Chemical Substance Inventory. This inventory contains a consolidated list of thousands of industrial chemicals maintained by the agency.  EPA is also making this information available on Data.Gov, a website developed by the Obama Administration to provide public access to important government information.  This action represents another step to increase the transparency of chemical information while continuing to push for legislative reform of the 30 year old TSCA law."
