Indiana Law students can build their own plan of study by taking classes from a number of different areas, or they can choose an area of focus.
Description This course covers the environmental laws that regulate toxic substances that have long-term deleterious health effects even at very low levels of exposure. We begin with the basic science of toxic substances and their effects, and the fundamentals of risk-based regulation. We next examine the various approaches to toxics regulation that are found in statutes whose primary target is conventional pollutants. These form the background for the four principal statutes that govern the life cycle of toxic substances: TSCA (manufacture of industrial chemicals), FIFRA (sale and use of pesticides), RCRA (treatment and disposal of hazardous waste), and CERCLA (Superfund) (clean-up of abandoned waste sites). Finally, we will study emerging trends in toxics regulation, such as right-to-know and environmental justice legislation. (3 cr.)
