The Lautenberg Act was passed in 2016, winning support across businesses and environmental groups. Does that portend more progressive actions? We show it as a function of the status quo changing due to regulatory efforts abroad, and in the United States, and from outside pressures on business. These processes may not be unique to toxics.
