What is
Enviro$en$e ?
Enviro$en$e is a free environmental document exchange system that provides users with enforcement
and compliance assistance information, pollution prevention (P2) solutions, and innovative technology
insights.
Enviro$en$e contains information from a wide array of organizations including federal, state, and local
agencies, non-governmental organizations, manufacturers, suppliers, and researchers.
Enviro$en$e is a single site for those who seek cleaner materials and chemicals, and enforcement and
compliance information. The site provides data which may help businesses, regulatory agencies, and
others meet environmental requirements.
Technical and Research and Development Information (found at: www.epa.gov/envirosense/ncerqa)
• EPA-Funded Research Projects, Grants, and Fellowships. Easily access interagency research funding opportunities as well as past and
present research projects and programs through the National Center for Environmental Research and Quality Assurance.
• P2 Case Studies. See how companies successfully implemented pollution prevention measures, improved productivity, and saved money.
P2 State & Federal Government, and International Cooperative (found at: www.epa.gov/envirosense/cooperative
• Explore the P2 Cooperative, a virtual network of partnering web sites designed to support exchange of technical and program information from a
single website. The P2 Cooperative supports preset topical and user-defined searches which access all of the partners' P2 collections.
Powerful Search Engine & Spiders
• Find P2 solutions to your environmental problems. Search over 60 datasets as well as participating regional- and state-indexed websites.
News, Resources, Contacts, and Funding
• Vendor Information. Research vendor information from the extensive Illinois Waste Management Research Center's Techlnfo and Vendlnfo
databases. Use the National Pollution Prevention Roundtable's "yellow pages" to find P2 and regulatory contacts.
