Alternatives Research
TURI works with industry and university researchers to identify and promote innovations in toxics use reduction and pollution prevention. New science and technology in nanotechnology, green chemistry, toxicity and exposure assessment, and materials engineering are supported through grants, discussion groups and networks, and research and demonstration. Also see the TURI Laboratory for safer alternatives in surface cleaning.
