General P2 Information

Canadian Pollution Prevention Resource Finder
Search over 1,200 pollution prevention references ranging from fact sheets to case studies. References are searchable by keyword and by specific industrial sector.

Information on Chemicals Under TSCA
Chemicals can be found in many of the products we use in our everyday lives. Some chemicals pose risks to humans and the environment. Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and the Pollution Prevention Act, EPA evaluates potential risks from new and existing chemicals and finds ways to prevent or reduce pollution before it gets into the environment.  Use this site to get information on chemicals and their regulation under TSCA, on ways to prevent and reduce pollution, and on safer chemicals, products and practices.

Pollution Prevention (P2) Information from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
This comprehensive site includes information organized for different P2 audiences, programs, concepts, and product stages. It contains numerous links to databases, tools, publications, funding opportunities, and regional programs.
