Household Hazardous Materials 
Many of the products that we commonly use to clean or maintain our homes, cars and yards contain hazardous ingredients. Fortunately, alternatives exist that can accomplish the same tasks while reducing or eliminating many hazardous chemicals. However, there may be times when you need to use a hazardous chemical to get the job done. The resources on this site highlight important aspects of the process for purchasing, using and disposing of hazardous and alternative products, to help you achieve the best possible results and safeguard yourself and the community against the dangers of hazardous products.
Each year nearly one million children under the age of five are exposed to potentially poisonous medicines and household chemicals. Cleaning substances are the most common cause of home poisonings. If a poisoning occurs please call the Poison Action Line at 1-800-876-4766.
