Great Lakes Toxic Substances Control Program

The Great Lakes Toxic Substances Control Program is a federal effort to identify, reduce, and prevent the release of harmful chemicals into the Great Lakes, which are vital freshwater resources. It aims to protect water quality, ecosystems, and human health by regulating industrial discharges, cleaning up contaminated sites, and promoting safer practices. The program involves collaboration among government agencies, industries, and communities to ensure that the lakes remain clean and sustainable for future generations.
