Notes

Chemicals can enter the air, water, and soil when they are produced, used or disposed. Their impact on the environment is determined by the amount of the chemical that is released, the type and concentration of the chemical, and where it is found.

Some toxic chemicals don’t break down easily in the environment, and they can move up through the food chain. These “persistent, bioaccumulative” toxic chemicals can build up in the tissues of small organisms living in Puget Sound. These tiny living things are eaten by fish, which in turn are then eaten by larger fish, marine mammals, and sometimes humans – harming their health.


Before you use a product, read the label carefully and follow the instructions. Pay attention to warnings on the label.
Use proper ventilation. Ventilation means getting fresh air into your home or workplace. When using strong chemicals, open your doors and windows whenever the weather permits. When you use a toxic chemical indoors, you may wish to blow air out the window with a fan. Have another window or door open to let fresh air into the room. If you use chemicals in your hobbies, use them outdoors or in a well- ventilated area away from your living space.
