Why Join NPEP? By improving chemical management in facilities, partners are reducing the risk of chemical releases into the land, air, or water that could affect human health and the environment NPEP partner successes illustrate commitments to environmental stewardship and show why NPEP has adopted the slogan: Better Environment, Better Neighbor, Better Business National Partnership for Environmental Priorities

Priority Chemicals 1,2,4-Trichlorobenzene 1,2,4,5-Tetrachlorobenzene 2,4,5-Trichlorophenol 4-Bromophenyl phenyl ether Acenaphthene Acenaphthylene Anthracene Benzo(g,h,i)perylene Dibenzofuran Dioxins/Furans Endosulfan, alpha & Endosulfan, beta Fluorene Heptachlor & Heptachlor epoxide Hexachloroxyxlohexane, gamma Hexachlorobutadiene Hexachlorocyclohexane, gamma Hexachloroethane Methoxychlor Naphthalene PAH Group (as defined in TRI) Pendimethalin Pentachlorobenzene Pentachloronitrobenzene Pentachlorophenol Phenanthrene Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) Pyrene Trifluralin Metals and Metal Compunds Cadmium Lead Mercury National Partnership for Environmental Priorities

Regional Chemicals of Concern (proposed, Fall 2009)  Benzene  Bisphenol A  Formaldehyde  Methylene Chloride  Phthalates  Tetrachloroethylene  Trichloroethylene National Partnership for Environmental Priorities Priority Chemicals

How to participate? Enroll - each partner pledges to improve chemical management by a completion date Success Story - facility managers document achievements –Successes are highlighted on the NPEP website National Partnership for Environmental Priorities Use our online enrollment at the EPA website. partnerships/npep/
