Ozone-depleting substances (ODSs) break down the stratospheric ozone layer through the reaction of chlorine and bromine with ozone. Sources of chlorine and bromine are both natural and man-made. Man-made sources include: Chlorofluorocarbons , Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs, Carbon tetrachloride, Methyl bromide, Methyl chloroform, and Halons. These chemicals are very stable in the lower atmosphere and do not break down, nor are they soluble in water. Thus, these chemicals rise through the atmosphere and mix with the ozone in the upper atmosphere. contribute to climate change, or result in other harm to public health or the environment.

The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) was enacted in 1976 to address the increasing problems of toxic substances. Through the provisions of TSCA, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) can collect or require the development of information about the toxicity of particular chemicals and the extent to which people and the environment are exposed to them. Such information allows the EPA to assess whether the chemicals pose unreasonable risks to humans and the environment. TSCA provides the basis for EPA's New and Existing Chemicals programs and the basis for national programs for major chemicals of concern, such as asbestos, lead, mercury, and radon, and the foundation for other TSCA programs, such as addressing environmental issues in schools, including energy efficiency under TSCA Title V
