Chemical industry viewpoint on toxic spills and toxic pollutants
Conference
·
· 70th AIChE Annu. Meet.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6883426
A discussion showed that the Manufacturing Chemists Association (MCA) has for over ten years sponsored research on the development of biological techniques for rapid assessment of the toxicity of wastewaters. In 1971, MCA established a Chemical Transportation Emergency Center (CHEMTREC) which provides immediate action response information to the scene of a chemical transportation accident on receipt of a phone call identifying the product involved. The MCA has also sponsored symposia on Federal legislation controlling toxic chemicals. The discussion also covers this legislation including: the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972 and its section on oil and hazardous substance liability, Clean Air Act, Occupational Safety and Health Act, Consumer Product Safety Act, Transportation Safety Act, Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act, Food and Drug Act, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, and Toxic Substances Control Act.
