Effective Policies to Eliminate Chemical Releases and Exposures in Schools. Webinar Series.

To promote a national framework for the prevention of chemical incidents in schools, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) National Toxic Substance Incidents Program (NTSIP) has teamed up with Interstate Chemical Threats Workgroup (ICTW) to bring an exciting webinar series. 

During the sessions we'll explore policies and prevention efforts for three chemicals/chemical categories that lead the NTSIP incident list: elemental mercury, cleaning products, and pesticides. 

At the conclusion of the webinar series, the summary notes will guide the development of a white paper entitled, Best Practices and Policies for Eliminating Chemical Releases and Exposures in Schools.

  • "Green Cleaning Policies to Eliminate Exposures," on November 10, 
  • "Pesticide Exposures and Effective Policies" on December 15, 
  • "Best Practices and Policies for Eliminating Chemical Releases and Exposures in Schools" on January 12, 2012. 

All webinars start at 9:30 a.m. PST.
