TRI P2 Spotlight Series
This bulletin series focuses on specific toxic chemicals and describes the pollution prevention (P2) efforts of certain TRI industry sectors and facilities. Many of these chemicals are also Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Workplan Chemicals. Where available, information is provided on risk reduction efforts including risk assessments and alternative assessments. EPA provides this information to:
- Highlight TRI P2 accomplishments,
- Spur discussion on possible alternatives, and
- Encourage industry to move towards preferred waste management practices and safer alternatives.
