How Do TSCA Amendments Impact Catalyst Development?
The amendments have significant implications for the development and commercialization of new catalysts:
Increased Scrutiny: New catalysts must undergo rigorous safety evaluations before being introduced to the market. This ensures that innovative catalytic materials do not pose unforeseen risks. Data Requirements: Developers need to provide comprehensive data on the chemical properties and potential hazards of new catalysts. This might increase the time and cost associated with developing new catalytic technologies. Innovation Incentives: While the increased scrutiny might seem burdensome, it also incentivizes the development of safer, more sustainable catalytic processes and materials.
