The article reports on the paper released by the U.S. Government Accountability Office in June 2005 titled "Chemical Regulation: Options Exist to Improve EPA's Ability to Assess Health Risks and Manage Its Chemical Review." The report claims that the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) has failed to empower the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to ensure the safety of chemicals being used by companies in the United States. However, many other experts have testified that the TSCA has mostly accomplished what it sought to do.
