Lautenberg, who chairs the Senate Subcommittee on Superfund, Toxics and Environmental Health, introduced on April 15th  the “Safe Chemicals Act of 2010” (S.3209), a bill that he says would place the burden on industry to prove that chemicals are safe in order to stay in the market and require the safety testing of all industrial chemicals.
