- Vipul: My main comment is that a number of the legislative and policy items that are mentioned in the big picture and summary by decade are not covered in the full timeline. Examples include REACH, Toxic Substances Control Act, Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants, and the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act. Thoughts?

Vipul: I asked ChatGPT for a timeline of chemical risk. While most of its output was covered somewhere in the timeline, a lot of it was not covered in the full timeline, cf. my comment above about stuff in the big picture that is not included in the full timeline.
