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--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aChemical industry$xWaste minimization 606 $aHazardous wastes$xManagement$xGovernment policy 606 $aChemicals$xAccidents$xPrevention 615 0$aChemical industry$xWaste minimization. 615 0$aHazardous wastes$xManagement$xGovernment policy. 615 0$aChemicals$xAccidents$xPrevention. 676 $a363.17/91 676 $a363.73847 676 $a363.1791 686 $aLAW034000$aSCI026000$aTEC020000$2bisacsh 700 $aHiggins$b Thomas E.$f1948-$01367732 702 $aSachdev$b Jayanti A. 702 $aEngleman$b Stephen A. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910411652903321 996 $aToxic chemicals$93391513 997 $aUNINA
