On the August 2nd edition of Your Call we’ll have a conversation about the new Toxic Substances Control Act.
Under the new law, the EPA will have more authority to test and restrict hazardous chemicals, which are found in every products, including laundry detergent and bathroom cleaners. Will the EPA have the resources it needs to ensure those chemicals are safe? Join the conversation, on the next Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.
