What are the key regulatory bodies overseeing catalysis?
Various regulatory bodies oversee catalysis, primarily focusing on environmental and safety aspects. In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates emissions and the use of chemicals in catalytic processes. The European Union has the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) which enforces REACH regulations concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals. Other significant bodies include OSHA for workplace safety and the International Maritime Organization (IMO) for marine pollution.
