The Toronto Toxic Reduction Tool Kit is a great resource to help community leaders investigate local toxic substances and take steps to reduce exposures and releases in their neighbourhood or workplace. This resource will especially help Torontonians use the City of Toronto's ChemTRAC Program, which provides the public with the 'right to know'.
This kit was written by members of the Toronto Cancer Prevention Coalition's Environmental & Occupational Carcinogens Working Group, including the Toronto Environmental Alliance (TEA).
The Tool Kit consists of 8 items. Click on any of the titles below to view a Tool Kit item of your choice or the 'compiled' version for the full Tool Kit.
