TECHNICAL REPORT
This report summarizes the efforts of Sea Mar Community Health Centers, a community-based organization, to teach safer cleaning practices to 76 Spanish-speaking immigrants in their homes.
TECHNICAL REPORT
This report describes the pilot program established by the Haz Waste Program to transition perchloroethylene (PERC) dry cleaners to professional wet cleaning (PWC).
TECHNICAL REPORT
We evaluated the relative toxicity of products used by shops before and after they switched from PERC to professional wet cleaning.
TECHNICAL REPORT
We conducted an alternatives assessment of solventborne vs. waterborne automotive basecoats. Waterborne paint systems were found to be safer alternatives to the solventborne products.
TECHNICAL REPORT
We conducted a comprehensive evaluation of 3 high-flash point hydrocarbon dry cleaning solvents. They are complex mixtures of hydrocarbons. Benzene was not detected and hey were not toxic to fish.

TECHNICAL REPORT
We evaluated the toxicity of PERC dry cleaning solvent and found that this is the most toxic of the dry cleaning solvents tested in a fish bioassay (LC50 = 3.61 mg/L).
TECHNICAL REPORT
We tested still bottoms from 4 PERC machines. The toxicity varied, likely because of differences in amount of PERC, detergents, spot cleaners, additives, and material extracted from fabrics.
