Presentation by Dorothy Wigmore, Occupational Health and Safety Consultant and Educator.

A growing number of organisations, governments and First Nations are involved in activities to reduce the use of toxic substances in Canada. Few see what they do as "toxics use reduction" (TUR) or "pollution prevention", or make connections between occupational and environmental health issues. Most focus on the uses of chemical products, rather than eliminating or reducing production or extraction of the substances. Those are some of the findings of a recent environmental scan about toxic use reduction activities in Canada and opportunities for networking to promote TUR and cancer prevention.
