Pollution

Inventories / Use Patterns:
This program produces databases on toxic chemicals releases to air, water, and land through the National Pollutant Release Inventory, and industry self-reporting activity. Use patterns of commercial chemicals, including pesticides, are developed on an as needed basis.
Air and Waste:
This program is aimed at the reduction of environmental impacts resulting from sources of air pollutants, including combustion processes as well as the reduction of impacts from solid waste management at federal facilities.
Toxic Chemicals:
This program measures the environmental risks associated with priority toxic substances in the region as well as selected substances of national concern. Control strategies are developed for the highest risk substances.
Pesticides:
This program quantifies the environmental impacts from high-risk pesticide use and develops mitigative measures for regional pesticide programs, primarily those at federal facilities.
