Trade Review
"Ms. Sellers presents a comprehensive review of how substances are currently assessed and managed, as well as the limitations in how regulators make decisions. She takes readers from a review of current regulations and laws related to controlling emissions to a broader field of vision, looking beyond bringing a chemical to market to include how chemicals and substances can have effects around the planet. Readers will benefit from the wider perspective to chemical manufacture and use that she provides."
—Journal of Cleaner Production, August 2015
"The chapter on product stewardship regulations provides… a well-written, scholarly, and useful overview of product regulation that manufacturers and others in this space would find essential as they tackle this fast-evolving and exceedingly important regulatory area."
—Lynn L. Bergeson, Bergeson & Campbell, PC
"This text introduces the reader to the broad concepts of life cycle analysis, and summarizes the evolution of product regulations in the US, the EU, and China. The case studies bring to life the complexities of product regulation -- from early identified chemical hazards that are now nearly obsolete, to emerging potential hazards that, at present, are somehow largely ignored. The case studies -- in their systematic presentation -- help the reader begin to form a framework that may be applied to examine consumer and intermediate products of the past, present, and future..."
