Why Reduce Toxics?


Toxic chemical use by households, municipalities, small businesses and industries result in threats to human health and the environment, costly pollution controls, waste management, and waste site cleanups.  Practicing pollution prevention through TUR makes sense for industries as well as communities. TUR techniques can reduce chemical exposures for the general public and workers, protect the environment, reduce liability, and save money.
