United States on Chemicals

With the election of Donald Trump, the implementation of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) in 2025 will differ significantly from the pre-election expectations.

Two landmark California laws, AB 1817 and AB 2771, regulating a group of chemicals known as PFAS, will have far reaching impacts to consumer products when they take effect Jan. 1.

In the absence of federal cleanup standards for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances ("PFAS") in groundwater, several states have started the process of regulating PFAS in groundwater themselves.
