Americans must have confidence in how the federal government regulates chemicals to protect public health and safety. Through the Center for Advancing Risk Assessment Science and Policy (ARASP), the chemistry industry promotes sound scientific practices and provides transparent and robust information to government regulators to help assure the safety of all chemicals in production for their end uses. The Center is a self-funded group composed of chemical and product specific groups housed under ACC’s Chemical Products and Technology Division. The focus of the Center is broad and, while it will rely on chemical-specific examples, the Center will not conduct advocacy for any specific chemical. There are many challenges to implementing up-to-date risk assessment methods. The Center will address these challenges by fostering activities to promote adoption of policies and practices, both within and outside government, that actualize advances that have been made in understanding on how chemicals act at the molecular, cellular, and organ levels.
