## The Green Chemistry Conference

Jim Jones, Head of US EPA’s TSCA program and Ben Dunham, Senior Advisor to the late
U.S. Senator Frank Lautenberg, will give their insider’s view of the chances for
toxic chemical reform in Congress at this year’s Green Chemistry Conference, September

The Green Chemistry Conference will also focus on the regulatory developments that

Nicolas Herbatschek from the Brussels’ law office of Hunton & Williams will give
the opening address on what it costs US businesses to comply with EU Reach regulations.
Karl Palmer, Chief of California’s new Safer Consumer Products program, will focus
on what manufacturers need to know to comply with this far-reaching regulation. 
Former Director of California Department of Toxic Substances Control, Maureen Gorsen,
will help attendees unravel the myriad of other states’ green chemistry laws.
