Wisconsin Plan for Toxic Chemical Security — Disclose More

· Story link

Waukesha County, Wisconsin has a different approach to dealing with toxic chemical security and safety concerns – it demands more disclosure to both emergency officials and the public than federal guidelines require. The result, says one local official, is that many facilities are maintaining a lower inventory of very toxic chemicals. Some have reduced the amount on-site while others have turned to substituting toxic chemicals with safer ones. (4/20/05)
