| Abstract | Long Description |
This background paper for the Beyond Waste Summary Document discusses current small-volume hazardous materials and waste collection and management practices, and proposes a preferred future and plan of action for reducing human and environmental exposure to hazardous materials and wastes. Chronic exposure to chemicals in our homes and businesses is a significant health risk as well as very costly to businesses and society due to increased costs associated with health care, environmental degradation, insurance and liability. Recommendations in this paper are intended to accelerate progress toward eliminating the risks associated with products containing hazardous substances. |
