520    "Catastrophic events such as the Bhopal, India tragedy and
       rising incidences of cancer in areas neighboring 
       industrial facilities have heightened concern over the use
       of toxic chemicals in manufacturing and industry. Based on
       the author's research conducted through their development 
       of a program in Sao Paulo, Brazil, the book explores the 
       history of toxic chemical release reporting programs, 
       presents data on the actual toxicity of chemicals 
       currently in use, discusses variables that contribute to 
       the relative toxicity of a substance, compares alternate 
       emphases in existing programs for reducing environmental 
       threats, and provides a specific and health-based program 
       to reduce or eliminate the use of toxic chemicals"--
