chemicals regulation

Chemical regulation refers to the laws and guidelines that govern the production, use, and safety of chemicals in products, the environment, and workplaces. These regulations aim to protect human health and the environment by ensuring substances are tested for safety, proper labeling, and safe disposal methods. Agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the U.S. evaluate and monitor chemical substances to prevent harm from toxic exposure. This process helps to manage risks associated with chemicals, promoting safer practices and encouraging the development of safer alternatives.
