Overview: Key Federal Environmental Laws


Title III of SARA also created the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), as described above.

The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)

The purpose of TSCA, a 1976 Act of Congress, is to allow for the testing, regulation, and screening of all chemicals produced or imported into the U.S. before they reach the consumer market place.

TSCA also allows for the tracking of all existing chemicals that pose health or environmental hazards and for the implementation of cleanup procedures in the case of toxic material contamination. TSCA supplements other federal laws, such as the Clean Air Act and the Toxic Release Inventory under EPCRA.
