Rapid Response

PPRC’s Rapid Response Service is dedicated to answering questions relating to prevention pollution (P2).  Ask us your P2 questions – about best practices, processes, or product changes, that will reduce, eliminate, or prevent pollution at its source - prior to recycling, treatment, or disposal.   

 

We currently have funding to offer this rapid response service to businesses, agencies, tribes, and associations within EPA Region 10 - Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington.  This service is grant-funded and offered at no charge. 

 

Examples of our most recent and most read rapid response topics include:  

• Safer Sanitizers for Food Contact Surfaces  (Including Uses for an Organic Farm)

• Non-Toxic Label and Adhesive Removal

• What could be contributing to PFAS contamination in commercial car wash wastewater (and nearby groundwater), and how can it be minimized?

• Which disinfectants are safest, and where can I purchase them?

• What sources of mercury are still found or used in medical care and healthcare facilities? 

• Thermal Paper and Receipts with BPA – Trash or Recycle?

• What methods are used to calculate transfer and build efficiency for spray paint operations?

• FAQs about Cadmium in Fertilizer
