About 100,000 industrial chemicals have been listed on various commercial and regulatory registries around the world since the 1970s. It is generally agreed that about 30--60,000 of these chemicals are in commerce in industrial uses and products today, new chemicals are entering the market at a rate of about 1,000 per year. These chemicals make our way of life possible: they, quite literally, make up everything around us. Exposure to some chemicals, even at low levels, can also cause a number of human health and environmental problems. Moreover, information on chemical hazard and exposure for the vast majority of chemicals in commerce is lacking. Stakeholders and lawmakers the world over have recognized the need for policy reform over the last decade or so. Worldwide, the governance of chemicals is in the midst of a period of relatively rapid policy change. How should laws be reformed to identify and address risks from toxic chemicals? Environmental law and policy literature on policy instrument choice offers insight on this normative question. In the U.S. in particular, chemical risks are governed by a mix of public and private law. How do tort laws interact with other regulatory instruments in chemical risk governance? This dissertation consists of three separate, but related papers that begin to provide partial answers to these questions by approaching them from different substantive and methodological perspectives. The first paper compares public regulatory regimes in Europe and Canada for lessons from the policies' first stages of implementation. The second paper establishes an analytical framework to compare public regulation and private liability entitlements as complimentary instruments for addressing chemical risk. The third paper utilizes empirical methods to examine whether the number of chemical releases at fixed facilities bears any relation to variation in state tort laws.
