Safe Chemicals Act

The Safe Chemicals Act is a proposed U.S. legislation aimed at improving the regulation of chemicals used in everyday products. It intends to ensure that chemicals are assessed for safety before they enter the market, requiring companies to provide data on the health and environmental effects of their substances. The goal is to protect public health and the environment from potentially harmful chemicals, promote transparency in chemical safety, and encourage the development of safer alternatives. By strengthening existing laws, the act seeks to enhance safety standards and reduce the risks associated with hazardous chemicals.
