Act (TSCA)<\/a> regulates most industrial chemicals that are manufactured or processed in the United States. It applies to all substances that pose an &#8220;unreasonable risk to health or the environment&#8221; and also applies to imports. The legislation was passed in 1976 alongside a range of other environmental regulations in the USA and was comprehensively reformed in 2016. The law regulates various chemicals and substances, including asbestos, lead in paint, nanomaterials and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Whether the law can also be applied to the control of greenhouse gas emissions is a point of contention that is currently being <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2022\/jun\/16\/greenhouse-gases-must-be-legally-phased-out-us-scientists-argue\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">decided in court<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6dee942 elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"6dee942\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1151\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1151\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-caret-right\" viewBox=\"0 0 192 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M0 384.662V127.338c0-17.818 21.543-26.741 34.142-14.142l128.662 128.662c7.81 7.81 7.81 20.474 0 28.284L34.142 398.804C21.543 411.404 0 402.48 0 384.662z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><svg class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened e-font-icon-svg e-fas-caret-up\" viewBox=\"0 0 320 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M288.662 352H31.338c-17.818 0-26.741-21.543-14.142-34.142l128.662-128.662c7.81-7.81 20.474-7.81 28.284 0l128.662 128.662c12.6 12.599 3.676 34.142-14.142 34.142z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">The TSCA Inventory<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1151\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1151\"><p>The TSCA Inventory (or simply &#8220;the Inventory&#8221;) is a list of chemical substances covered by TSCA. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) keeps it up to date and publishes changes every six months in a non-confidential section of the inventory. The list has a <a href=\"https:\/\/sor.epa.gov\/sor_internet\/registry\/substreg\/searchandretrieve\/searchbylist\/search.do\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">search function<\/a> and the latest version can also be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/tsca-inventory\/how-access-tsca-inventory#download\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">downloaded<\/a> directly from the EPA. Since the first version of the inventory, which included 62,000 chemical substances, the TSCA Inventory has grown to 86,000 chemical substances. The EPA receives about 400 new notifications of substances each year, which means that the TSCA inventory changes on a daily basis.<\/p><p>Twice a year, the EPA updates its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/tsca-inventory\/how-access-tsca-inventory\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">public information on the TSCA Inventory<\/a> to include new and corrected chemical lists. Confidential chemical identities are not included. Therefore, this public information is less complete and up-to-date than that in the EPA&#8217;s TSCA Master Inventory File, which can only be viewed by the EPA. This file also contains the chemical identities classified as confidential and is always kept up to date when new or corrected information is received. Binding and complete information is therefore only available via the official channel at the EPA.<\/p><p>Searching in the TSCA Inventory is not easy.

For comparison: a human hair has a size of 80,000 to 100,000 nanometers. A nano-sized chemical substance can have different properties than the same chemical substance with larger structures. For example, the substance can become stronger or lighter and also have a higher chemical reactivity.

It collects information on new and existing nanomaterials and ensures that new nanomaterials are pre-registered. Companies must provide the EPA with information on certain chemical substances that are already on the market, manufactured, imported or processed as nanoscale materials. This includes details about the specific chemical identity, production quantity, manufacturing methods, health and safety data, and information about the processing, use, exposure and release of the substances.

To determine whether a nanoscale substance is a &#8220;new&#8221; chemical on the TSCA inventory, the EPA has compiled a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/reviewing-new-chemicals-under-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca\/working-guidance-epas-section-8a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">guideline<\/a>.<\/p><p>In order to limit the risk posed by nanomaterials, the EPA has restricted their use in some cases, as well as their release into the environment or stipulates the use of personal protective equipment and technical controls. It also requires tests on health and environmental data. The manufacture of new chemical materials on a nanoscale is permitted to a limited extent under TSCA. So-called &#8220;consent orders&#8221; or &#8220;Significant New Use Rules&#8221; (SNUR) are used for this purpose. The production of new chemical materials on the nanoscale can also be authorized under certain exemptions.
