Community Right to Know Act

The Community Right-to-Know Act is a U.S. law designed to inform the public about hazardous chemicals in their communities. It requires businesses that handle certain toxic substances to report their quantities and potential risks. This information helps local governments and residents make informed decisions about environmental safety and health. By increasing transparency, the law aims to empower communities to take action to protect themselves from potential hazards, ensuring they know what chemicals are present and can prepare for any related emergencies.
