Under these laws, EPA regulates the production and distribution of commercial and industrial chemicals in order to ensure that chemicals made available for sale and use in the United States do not harm human health or the environment. Along with the regulation of these substances, the Agency has created databases and documents that further the knowledge of the American people about the effects and prevalence of such substances.
The incumbent serves as the Director, Risk Assessment Division (RAD), Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT), Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention (OCSPP).
RAD, under the supervision of the Director, performs technical and science policy analyses to support OPPT regulatory and non-regulatory programs.
