"Federal law forces companies to provide detailed information to U.S. EPA about the toxicity of the chemicals they use.
But there is a catch. The same law -- the 1976 Toxic Substances Control Act, or TSCA -- prohibits the agency from sharing that information with the public or even with state and local authorities.
States are demanding that the law be changed."
