community right-to-know

The Community Right-to-Know is a law that requires industries to disclose information about hazardous substances they use, store, or release into the environment. This initiative empowers local communities by providing them with knowledge about potential chemical risks nearby, enabling residents to make informed decisions regarding their health and safety. It encourages transparency and accountability among businesses, helping communities to prepare for emergencies and advocate for better environmental practices. Essentially, it ensures that people have access to important information about the chemicals that may affect their lives and communities.
