EPA Is Slow To Carry Out Its Responsibility

To Control Harmful Chemicals





For almost 4 years EPA has had broad author-
ity to protect the public and the environment
from the harmful effects of chemicals. Al-
though actions have been taken to control
three chemicals, no chemicals have been tested
and basic data is lacking on most of the other
55,000 chemicals now in use. New chemicals
are being screened, but implementing regula-
tions and the review process itself have not
been completed.

Several factors have contributed to this slow
progress, including no clear sense of direction
to guide the program, and organizational and
staffing problems. EPA is working to resolve
these problems.
