CHEMICALS IN THE ENVIRONMENT: OPPT CHEMICAL FACT SHEETS
Description:
The OPPT Chemical Fact Sheets are produced by the Office of Pollution, Prevention and Toxics to provide a brief summary of information on selected chemicals. The Fact Sheets cover each chemicals identity, production and use, environmental fate, and health and environmental effects. They also include a list of laws under which the chemical is regulated, phone numbers, and the names of Environmental Protection Agency offices and other Agencies one can call or contact for more information. Each Fact Sheet is also accompanied by a Chemical Summary, a technical support document that provides detailed technical information on the chemical named in the Fact Sheets. The initial goal of this project was to provide summaries that would supplement information on the environmental release of Toxics Release Inventory chemicals. The Fact Sheets are also intended to provide the public with information on other chemicals under assessment by the Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics.
