Policy Work Overview
TURI's chemicals policy program develops initiatives to reduce the use of toxic chemicals and the generation of toxic byproducts by industry and communities, while enhancing the competitiveness of Massachusetts industry.
As mandated by the Toxics Use Reduction Act, TURI conducts policy analyses and facilitates the process of listing and de-listing of chemicals on the TURA list. This is an on-going process that involves three groups of councils and committees of state officials, scientists and citizens.
This process helps companies prioritize their toxics use reduction efforts on those chemicals that pose the most serious threats to health and the environment.
We also keep companies informed of upcoming chemical regulations in other states and countries. Visit the chemicals policy resources section for more information.
Companies report annually. Search now by company, chemical or community location.
