In this week’s episode of the Chemical Watch podcast, global managing editor Kate Lowe is joined by Chemical Watch news editor Charlotte Niemiec and North America managing editor Terry Hyland to discuss two big stories from the last week:
Firstly, the likely re-emergence in the US of long-standing debates over TSCA’s preemption rules as the US Environmental Protection Agency nears completion of final risk evaluations for the first ten substances subject to review under the amended TSCA legislation.
Secondly, the implications of the fatal gas leak from a polymer manufacturing plant in Andhra Pradesh, South East India, which tragically left 12 people dead and hundreds hospitalised.
In this week’s episode of the Chemical Watch podcast, global managing editor Kate Lowe is joined from Dallas by Ginger Hervey, global and emerging markets reporter, and in the UK by Andrew Turley, Chemical Watch science editor, to discuss two stories from the last week:
Firstly, the debate that has followed a decision by Mexico's health department earlier this year to propose an overarching national chemicals policy placing the burden of proof on companies to show the substances they use are safe - a move which has stirred industry concern, and most recently the development of an alternative industry-sponsored proposal.
Secondly, the publication of the provisional findings of a literature review of studies on the mixture effects of substances - findings which could have implications for regulators seeking solutions to the longstanding issue of how to account for the effects of unintentional mixtures of environmental chemicals.
In this episode, North America desk editor Julia John talks about California legislation that could limit phthalates in IV bags, bisphenols in children's products and more. Asia senior reporter Uzair Aftab talks about how businesses are dealing with Taiwan's upcoming deadline for registering more than 100 priority existing chemicals. Finally, senior reporter on biocides, Vanessa Zainainger, joins us to talk about Biobor JR, an exempted jet fuel preservative, and how it came to enter, and stay, on the EU market.
In this episode, Europe managing editor Leigh Stringer talks about the results of this summer’s elections in Europe and what they might mean for policies like the EU’s REACH revision and the alternative transitional registration model (ATRm) for UK REACH. Senior editor Terry Hyland talks about the US Supreme Court’s landmark decision to overturn Chevron deference and how it could affect TSCA.
In this episode, Europe editor Luke Buxton walks us through the new UK REACH registration model proposal, Asia desk editor Dr Kerry Hebden talks about why Japanese businesses want more time to phase out the flame retardant Dechlorane Plus, and North America desk editor Julia John shares the story behind how the UV-absorber BEMT could become first sunscreen active ingredient approved in the US in decades.
This week's Chemical Watch News & Insight podcast takes a deep dive into a recent ruling from the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in the case of Inhance Technologies v US EPA.
In this episode, North America managing editor Kelly Franklin and senior editor Terry Hyland discuss the history and potentially broad implications of the court's conclusion that the EPA exceeded its statutory authority in issuing TSCA orders that would have forced Texas-based Inhance to shut down its long-running process for fluorinating plastic containers.
This week's Chemical Watch News & Insight podcast dives into some of the latest developments out of the European Commission, Taiwan and the US EPA.

We begin with Latin America where all eyes this year are on Brazil which, with a new government in power, could become the third country in the region to pass a national chemicals management law.
Next the podcast turns to transport and storage regulation, with an update on some of the key international and country-level developments across the globe this year.
Finally, we head to the US, for a look at the latest developments in the regulation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
Welcome to a special, one-off Chemical Watch podcast on substance identity issues that have been raised as part of the ongoing REACH revision.
In particular, we will be looking at a range of changes proposed by Germany’s Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (Baua). These would tackle potential registration problems of substances with hazardous impurities and nanomaterials. They include amending the definition of a substance as given in the legal texts of legislation, including REACH.
Chemical Watch’s science editor Andrew Turley is joined by Kristof Seubert and Angelina Gadermann both from Baua and Bernaette Quinn from REACHLaw. The consultancy has concerns over the ongoing use of the 'one substance' phrase commonly used in chemicals legislation. REACH takes a ‘one substance, one registration’ approach to data submission. An analogous phrase – one substance, one assessment – is used in the chemicals strategy for sustainability.
