It sounds like you're talking about the EPA's Toxic Substances Control
Act (TSCA).  I wrote for information and received a document entitled
"Industrial Toxics Project: 17 Target Chemicals" along with a letter
that said:

  "Please feel free to contact us at 202-554-1404 between 8:30 am and
  5:00 pm (EST) if you have any further questions or requests for
  documents pertaining to the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).

  "In addition, requests for documents only can be sent to:

    Environmental Assistance Division (TS-799)
    USEPA
    TSCA Assistance Information Service
    401 M Street, SW
    Washington, DC  20460

  or faxed to...

    (202)554-5603 (fax line open 24 hours per day)."

You may also want to get a copy of the book _Chemical Exposures: Low
Levels and High Stakes_ by Ashford and Miller, Van Nostrand Reinhold
1991.

Hope this helps.

of view;  iii) this is true, but quite unimportant;  iv) I always said so.
