Pollution prevention --
avoiding environmental and health damage by not using
toxic chemicals in the first place -- is as important in
homes, schools, and public places as it is for industry.
Our Community Assistance Program has created fact
sheets to help individuals
eliminate their use of toxic pesticides and cleaners in
the home and guidebooks
for government and other institutions.
You have the right-to-know about
toxic pollution in your home, workplace and community.
EHC is constantly updating information about health and
environmental effects and can help individuals,
organizations and others reduce pollution.
You also have the right to act and to
participate in the decisions that shape your community. EHC has helped
many groups and individuals fighting for environmental health and
justice in other communities.
