In this latest episode of the Chemical Watch news podcast, Kate Lowe is joined by North America managing editor Terry Hyland, Asia desk reporter Ellen Daliday and emerging markets reporter Ginger Hervey.
To begin, we catch up on the progress of risk evaluations to be carried out in the US for the first ten substances under the amended Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).
And then we look at the development of Thailand’s draft new chemical law and plans for a national inventory – and look at the concerns of the country's chemical industry.
Finally, we hear about the highlights and insights from a Chemical Watch conference this week on Latin America, where chemicals regimes are in transition.
