Based on the author's research conducted through their development of a program in Sao Paulo, Brazil, the book explores the history of toxic chemical release reporting programs, presents data on the actual toxicity of chemicals currently in use, discusses variables that contribute to the relative toxicity of a substance, compares alternate emphases in existing programs for reducing environmental threats, and provides a specific and health-based program to reduce or eliminate the use of toxic chemicals--Provided by publisher.Chemical industryWaste minimizationHazardous wastesManagementGovernment policyChemicalsAccidentsPreventionChemical industryWaste minimization.Hazardous wastesManagementGovernment policy.ChemicalsAccidentsPrevention.363.17/91363.73847363.1791LAW034000SCI026000TEC020000bisacshHiggins Thomas E.1948-1367732Sachdev Jayanti A.Engleman Stephen A.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910411652903321Toxic chemicals3391513UNINA
