PBT PROGRAM & HOSPITALS FOR A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT
Web Resources
Hospitals for a Healthy Environment (H2E) (http://www.h2e-online.orci/ Please see the external link disclaimer)
is an effort led by the American Hospital Association and the U.S. EPA to advance pollution prevention efforts in
our nation's hospitals. Through activities such as the development of best practices, model plans for total waste
management, resource directories, and case studies, the project hopes to provide hospitals and healthcare
systems with enhanced tools for minimizing the volumes of waste generated and the production of persistent,
bioaccumulative and toxic pollutants.
EPA's Mercury Website (http://www.epa.gov/mercurv/1 provides general, regulatory, and technical information
on efforts to reduce the amount of mercury in the environment.
EPA's cross-office, multimedia Persistent, Bioaccumulative, and Toxic (PBT) Chemical Program
(http://www. epa. qov/pbtO is working to further reduce risks to human health and the environment from existing
and future exposure to priority PBT pollutants. While the Program emphasizes prevention as a means to stop the
transfer of PBT pollutants across environmental media, it is designed to utilize all of the Agency's tools.
