PRO 6
Reducing Chemical Risks in the Built Environment
John Gelder
This note, PRO 6, originally published in February 1996, was revised and re-written by John Gelder in February 2001.
This Note is the third part of an introduction to the subject. It briefly explores various toxicity reduction strategies, available for managing toxic chemicals in the built environment. The Note is structured around a control hierarchy, largely offering chemical-specific examples. Other Notes will explore particular issues in more detail.
