Journal of Cleaner Production -- Special Issue

This special issue of the Journal of Cleaner Production -- Improving the health of the public, workers and the environment: twenty years of toxics use reduction -- celebrates the twentieth anniversary of the Massachusetts Toxics Use Reduction Act of 1989 (TURA).

Most of the papers in this issue were presented at a symposium to commemorate the twentieth anniversary that was held on November 4, 2009.

Much has been written about the Massachusetts Toxics Use Reduction Program, but these papers offer a unique perspective because many were written by staff and researchers associated with the TURA program, or immediate stakeholders.
