| Description |
This focus sheet provides an overview of environmental justice concerns as they relate to toxic substances. We discuss what Ecology does to address environmental justice, including: 1) reducing the amount of toxic chemicals and hazardous waste used and produced by Washington industries; 2) making sure businesses follow Washington laws regarding hazardous waste; and 3) managing the cleanup of spill sites around the state. We also discuss laws and programs that promote environmental justice, such as the Toxic Free Cosmetics Act, the Safer Products for Washington program, and Product Replacement program. |
