Lynn L. Bergeson Quoted in ICIS Article on Expected TSCA Restrictions
On January 11, 2024, Lynn L. Bergeson was quoted by ICIS in the article “US on track to restrict VCM, ACN, aniline under TSCA.”
Under President Joe Biden, the EPA has taken a whole chemical approach to determine whether a substance poses an unreasonable risk.
Under such an approach, the EPA is expected to find that VCM, ACN, aniline and the other two chemicals pose unreasonable risks, said Lynn Bergeson, managing partner at Bergeson & Campbell, a law firm that specializes in TSCA.
If the EPA makes such a finding, then it will proceed with the risk management phase, in which it will propose ways to manage the unreasonable risks.
Those can include restrictions or bans on certain uses.
