The Senate Environment and Public Works Subcommittee on Superfund, Toxics and Environmental Health held a hearing entitled, "Current Science on Public Exposures to Toxic Chemicals” on February 4. Senator Lautenberg (D- N.J.), the Subcommittee Chairman, began the hearing by highlighting flaws with the existing Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA), saying it “fails to give EPA the tools it need to protect against unsafe chemicals.” He told Subcommittee members that he will be reaching out to them as he begins to write a safer chemicals bill.
