Explanation for each option:

  • Drugs: The regulation of drugs falls under the jurisdiction of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) through the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA), not the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).
  • Food additives: Similar to drugs, food additives are also regulated by the FDA under the FDCA.
  • Pesticides: Pesticides are regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), not the TSCA.
  • Industrial chemicals: The TSCA specifically regulates the introduction and use of industrial chemicals. It gives the EPA the authority to require reporting, record-keeping, and testing requirements, and restrictions relating to chemical substances and mixtures.
