 Hazardous Waste in Berkeley? Most Berkeleyans would answer yes to this question. But
it has been only within the last decade that Berkeley
has undertaken the job of identifying the environmental problems associated
with hazardous waste. Initial investigations of hazardous materials pollution
were directed toward business and industry. This process, encouraged
by mandated state and federal legislation, has led to mandatory disclosure
of hazardous materials used by Berkeley businesses. Our budding biotech
industry also has helped to fuel this ongoing legislative effort while
boosting citizen awareness.
