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). [Project: Drycleaning]
TECHNICAL REPORT
We evaluated the relative toxicity of products used by shops before and after they switched from PERC to professional wet cleaning. [Project: Drycleaning]
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. [Project: Autopaint]
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 they were not toxic to fish. [Project: Drycleaning]

TECHNICAL REPORT
This journal article describes exposures of dry cleaners to new solvents that are replacing perchloroethylene (PERC). [Project: Drycleaning]
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). [Project: Drycleaning]
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. [Project: Drycleaning]
