> by industrial plants. Other information tells us about the
> health and environmental effects of chemicals. Still other
> information tells us what chemicals people may be exposed to.
>
> EPA believes that it is in everyone's interest to make this
> information available to the public. "Public" here includes
> industry, state governments, community groups, environmental
> groups, and, of course, public citizens. Access to information
> is the best way to ensure everyone has the opportunity to
> evaluate and reduce environmental and health risks.
>
> To make this information accessible, the Office of Pollution
> Prevention and Toxics (OPPT) within EPA provides a variety of
> information services and products. These include call-in
> hotlines, publications,videos, diskettes with data, CD-ROMs, and
> access to on-line databases.

> This publication is one way for you to find out about EPA's
> information products related to chemicals. The first edition of
> "Chemicals in the Environment: Public Access Information"
> provides information on a number of major OPPT products and
> services that reflect the scope of our programs. We hope to
> reach a wide audience to let you know what information products
> are available, what they can do for you, and how to get them.
