چکیده
The UAW believes that NTP should explore additional options for testing of chemicals beyond inclusion on this test list, and for funding this testing while using NTP protocols. In particularly, the UAW urges NTP to explore with EPA the use of authority under the Toxic Substances Control Act to promulgate test rules to compel producers of chemicals to provide funding for bioassays. In addition, NTP should explore alternatives to using public funds to test medicinal drugs and food additives which are sold for profit.
