In this latest episode of the Chemical Watch news podcast, global managing editor, Kate Lowe, is joined by reporter Terry Hyland, managing editor of our North America desk, to discuss two stories from the week.
First, a federal trial now underway in the US state of California that could set a new standard for how courts handle citizen petitions under TSCA – a development that could have considerable ramifications for stakeholders.
Second, we catch up with developments in Canada where, after several years of anticipation, the Canadian Environmental Protection Act finally looks set for a major overhaul this autumn.
