Environmental Health: Individual Actions

The choices you make about the products you use in your home and how you dispose of harmful substances has a great influence on the health of our environment. Once you spray a can of bug spray or pour drain cleaner down the sink, the toxic materials are released into the air and water, potentially affecting others in the community. Making responsible choices about what products you use and how you use them will improve the health of your family and will help keep Tucson’s environment healthy for everyone.
